You have to have US Treasury winning the 2nd race with just a 78 to get QR at 113.

QR more than 3 full seconds faster than Treasury, (est. 16L or so?), though more than 3.5 hours later on the card. FOUNTAIN'S FRACTIONS: 23.83 - 45.55 - 1:09.40 - 1:35.01 Race 2 (MdnSplWt, 4+, 1m) 23.74 - 46.22 - 1:11.27 - 1:38.36

I'd really like to hear what people think about Take the Points' 7-point regression on the Beyer scale. I felt like he ran a strong race. And I guess he did. Just expected to see him higher than 93.
Also, there were several wire-to-wire winners at SA yesterday, including more than one at two turns. Although just about all of the winners were among the favorites.

Actually, it might have been a somewhat improved race. He got that big dirt figure while up on a soft pace with an easy trip.

How long is a "length"? I usually use 10 feet, but I have never heard a definitive answer. If it is 10 feet, a horse coming home the final 1/8th in 13 seconds is covering a shade over 50 feet per second, or 5 lengths per second. If a length is indeed 10 feet then this would mean 3.35 seconds is 16 3/4 lengths.

The old rule of thumb is that a length equals 1/5th of a second .... but to steal a line from Steve Davidowitz...."mathmatically speaking, a length should equal 1/5th of a second only when a horse travels a furlong in 15 seconds. The only horses who go that slow charge 10 cents a ride."
