Yup in the 18 minutes between the 7th and 8th the track changed and then reverted back 19 minutes later for the 9th. Who is the new NYRA super Chris Angel? I thought the previous guy everyone was thrilled with?

I realize tracks change who doesn't?

They will by changing the fig soon enough

I'm far more inclined to believe that the timer malfunctioned then that Fort Hughes somehow ran on a track that was seconds faster than the one Stormandaprayer ran on 25 minutes before.

CJ hand timed it and feels the time is correct! I also would hope NYRA would have called attention to a timing error if indeed one had happened. They are the only ones bettors can count on to do the right thing by players.
