The 6th "Bell Canadian" Grade II was an "About" distance.

My personal experience with About distances was that they were invariably longer than Exact distances. That said, I have no experience with Woodbine on that matter.

Which brings me back to the original issue of the live ground crew. Did they time the 6th and 9th approximately in line with the official time?

If they did and the run ups were not significantly different and the live ground crew noted the About distance as further than an Exact 9 marks, theres little doubt in my mind the Atto was not a terribly fast race. But, I obviously can't determine the mentioned variables.

It seems pretty clear the 2 yr. old grass race was slow and that time would have to be adjusted for it, however that is done at Tgraph.

My question in regard to adjustment would be how many lengths were adjusted between the 6th and 9th, if any?

Other than the times of the races, there is one other problem and that is the finishing order. This is a very questionable race.
