Why not? Most of these don't want 10 panels to begin with and there was no pace pressure.

It's just not plausible that not one of the horses in the race fired a Par effort for their ability. These aren't First time starters or maidens

Tarvers looks high to me if you want to complain about a fig...but I don't lose sleep over this stuff like most.

I have the Travers as a poor race. The point here isn't really about the figures though, it is about the actual timing of the race. Why, in 2013, is this so difficult to get right?

Keeps creeping up, 105, then 106, now 109...should be 120 by this evening.

Crazy, huh? Whatever the fig, it was a sublime performance.

Getting there.

I think we all know Moss just didn't time this on a whim. But that is great, I want the word out there that timing of races is bad. Hopefully we'll see some improvement. I don't, however, agree with the 159.74 time either. I think Moss is just being conservative.

Fair enough. Agreed
