NYRA has verified that the Lawyer Ron win was indeed in track-record time. Others (Gawd-forbid I should mention their names!) also independently verified the clocking as legit.
As for Steven Crist and why he went off on this tangent, I humbly submit that not all systems that do figures can properly quantify them.
I heard a funny quote on the end of a Bob Costas TV show last week regarding cheating with steroids, Barry Bonds, etc. It was attributed to Mark Twain and went something like this:
There are three kinds of lies.
There are lies.
There are bald-faced lies.
And there are statistics!
To this I will add one of my favorite old ones as well, as follows:
Figures don't lie,
but liars figure!
