The track is a one mile oval. Almost no one works from the starting point of the one mile races. The works from the gate are usually at about the 6 furlong starting point.

This would have been a two turn work, how fast he was going at the beginning of the work would also be a factor in the final time.

The horse is fast, that is not the question. The question is can he race fast and work fast at the same while be sick, losing weight, and having surgery in a span of 90-120 days and still be ready to run his best. (Remember he missed about a week of training after the surgery).
