I've read about how tracks are getting slower and horses are getting faster and it is interesting and makes some sense because of the selective breeding but the TG fig inflation of the last few years seems illogical. Looking in the archives i see that a horse named Pro Prado ran 3 consecutive 1's last year making him one of the fastest spring 3 year olds of all time up until the last few years. Faster than Charismatic, Real Quiet, Silver Charm all of them.
Doesn't seem right does it? I would think the way to check to see if the bred is getting faster is look at the grass races. I think grass course records do seem to fall but not 3-6 points worth over a few years.
