SARATOGA SPRINGS — Quality Road’s record-breaking performance in Monday’s Grade II Amsterdam at the Spa is still a record. But the time has changed.

The New York Racing Association announced Wednesday that the final time for Quality Road’s 6 1/2 furlong win was 1:13.74. Initially, it was announced as 1:13.45, breaking the 30-year-old track record of 1:14 2/5, set by Topsider in 1979.

Two NYRA clockers independently re-timed the race to get the new time. The fractional times were 22.45, 44.55, 1:07.22 and 1:13.74.
