You got a pretty good memory 4singles2all.
That trainer who walked the track was named Mr D. Wayne Lukas. He REALLY could not believe the time because the additional cushion you spoke of was six inches of sand.
And yes you are totally correct the poor condition of the track is what broke Meadowlake down. Diaz is doing a little pinhooking in Ocala these days and it is probably only fitting that his name and this story came up on Arlington Million Day. Since he used to be a dominant force in Chicago.
If you called him today he will still swear that Meadowlake was as fast as Secretariat.
