And SA is playing slower. And again, very few 9 furlong races.
So now how do you compare the Wood and the SA Derby?
And what is normal for Maydan?

obv there will be extremes from time to time. but mostly tracks perform up close or up to what they always do. SA performing slower is not the norm it's the exception
and it's obv that other tracks cycle these types of things as well. from day to day to possibly a meet.
how do you compare, you got me. but if i had to be down on a horse in the present day derby it's gonna be from SA and not a NY track. and i don't think any astute capper would argue that
i don;t place much emphasis in any speed figures as well. it seems like every jackass has a speed figure these days as well.
