Obviously the track was slower than par at AQU on Wood day ... unless you really believe a Grade 3 for older males was won with an 80 Beyer and Esk only ran a 94 while winning the Wood by a huge margin?

The Excelsior was an absolutely ugly race, and the form of the Wood, like the Excelsior, has not exactly been flattered. I know one-turn and two-turn races can play differently, but when the Carter and Bay Shore go in 1:21 and change, I think it's hard to conclude that the track on Wood Day was seven or eight lengths slower than par.
