I dont get it, please explain. The raw times are so fast.

I don't follow SA turf horses much but I concur insofar as the few clocks I've seen have been respectable. I cannot speak for their shipping figures and therefore will refrain from answering the question.
For what it's worth, I can also state with some confidence the wet sealed track at SA is running quicker than the fast track. I don't deny a surface impacts running times. I'm merely skeptical the main track is suddenly a full 2.2 seconds slower that in was in 2014. I'm all ears if someone has some insight to a change in track maintenance there that would cause this precipitous decline.
