Thanks to google - I found out that SS worked the mile in 1:33 2/5ths on a Saturday between races at Del Mar. That's amazing. I'd love to know how fast the track was that day.
The track back then was FAST. Always.
And if I remember correctly, for whatever reason, mile races seemed to be run much faster than other route distances.
