At a few of my tracks ... it is a common thing where a racing surface will change speed throughout the card. Presque Isle Downs, for instance, the surface always gets faster late in the card. There is a discernable pattern that you see time after time.
I personally don't believe this was the case on this day at Churchill, look at the 10th place finisher of that race!, but CJ has a lot more experience with Churchill Downs than I have.

I didn't do any variant break anywhere on the card. I'll monitor those that come out of the race, but I'm pretty confident it was just a slow race for the class.
