Thanks for adding the Dowager BSF. I was curious what they'd do. Two hours earlier, allowance horses in a mile-and-sixteenth turf race hit the mile marker more than 10 seconds faster than in the 1.5 mile Dowager. That's a 50-60 length difference, no?

Blame Debbie and Always Shopping really picked it up at the end of the Dowager, but the winner of the Allowance race could have run a faster 1.5 miles than those two by jogging the last half mile in under 58 secs; or even easier, by running the last 3/16's in under 52 secs.
