The raw final time for the final eigth, or any fraction, without regard for the track varient is practically meaningless. It also matters whether or not the horse contested the early pace. Most importantly, one has to look at how the competitition ran the final eight. The fact that the BC Juvenile champion and likely Eclipse winner couldn't gain an inch on Brother Derek in that final eigth speaks volumes.
