Electrocutionist - 2:01.32
Discreet Cat - 1:48.59
Utopia - 1:35.88
Proud Tower Too - 1:09.86

Tough to extrapolate off the top of my head but it certainly feels like the track was faster last year than the prior year. Of course, Invasor and Premium Tap were a lot better than Brass Hat ( who also got a lousy ride that day ). Plus, it's hard to believe Discreet Cat wasn't more than 1 1/2 lengths faster than Asiatic Boy ( another brilliantly handled horse by the way....very clever not bringing him here after that race ).
