Coronado,
Comparing the travers and the whitney pace is silly. (Being kind and politically correct - a stronger word should be used)
3 year olds Vs older horses
1 1/8 mile vs 1 1/4 miles
In case u still want to compare, it gets "sillier". 22.3, 46 flat and 1:09.3
Vs. 24.1. 48.1, 1:11.2
So, the pace was 10 lengths faster to the 1st quarter, 13 lengths faster to the half and 11 lengths faster to the 3/4 mile.
Track variant needs to be factored in, but not sure it is going to ne much different.
No argument for anybody that says was AP ran gallant in defeat.
Nowhere near running "great". Silly statement.
