Was OBVIOUS to me watching live, that either the track was playing slow, or the fractions were malfunctioning/mis-timed.
Wasn't a suicidal pace, but it was a moderate-to-fast pace. There was a slight danger that Mike Smith was going to blow it by going too fast.
He didn't reach that point, but he flirted with it.
I'm watching the race with a bet down, and I'm saying "Easy, Mike... don't go too fast now... take it easy!... Why is he being so aggressive!?".
Believe it or not, I watch a lot of races.
Doesn't matter to me what numbers show up on the screen or whether they show up or not. I can kind of tell what's going on.
I think the figure makers did a great job. They should have. The card and the recent racing has shown the track has played slower. It's not like the track supposedly 'changed' between races xyz because they dragged the tractor or whatever...
