Bob,
Of course but track speed is highly relevant with pace or whole figs. Very little current data is available on 12f pace figs and simply because of the distance, jocks are most likely putting the brakes on early.Saturdays raw surface was plus+ many lengths.
Pace figs at 12f rarely pass a smell test as jockey intent is not quantifiable.This Belmont's pace was more to the honest/slower side in my notes.The whole race I deem common,the winner still a slug.
