My pace number for the final race winner is pretty quick in relation to the final time, about 15 points faster on the Beyer scale, which is around 4 lengths quick. And, that is for the winner. The leader another 3.5 lengths quicker. In other words, for 7f at Belmont, that pace fraction was very fast for that final time.
Even so, the track was still much slower than it was earlier in the day, and probably so for the Belmont as well, though it is tough to say with the slow pace and the being the only two turn route. The TG numbers look very plausible.
