Here is a copy of Dr Roman's post today over on the Homestretch board, I got about the same numbers (I figured in 5th's so this is more accurate). Street Sense obviously had slow early splits but his last split was excellent as Dr Roman points out!

Keith,

I didn't do a calculation for Hard Spun, but I get different numbers than you do for Street Sense using BRISNET charts directly and assuming 1 length equals 0.2 seconds.

Distance, Pace, Lengths Behind
2f, 22.96, 16
4f, 46.26, 19.5
6f, 71.13, 12
8f, 97.04, 3.5
10f, 122.17, 0

Street Sense's Pace
2f, 26.16
4f, 50.16
6f, 73.53
8f, 97.74
10f, 122.17

Street Sense's Splits
0f-2f, 26.16
2f-4f, 24.00
4f-6f, 23.37
6f-8f, 24.21
8f-10f, 24.43

I only mention it because his last quarter compares favorably with the average of about 25.40 over the last 36 years. His 6f split, however, is the slowest.

In those 36 years there have been 8 sub-25 last quarters and 1 sub-24.
