The only filly I ever remember shading 120 ever was Melair and Ventura while a nice filly aint no Melair.
Two races for optional $40k claimers went in 1:14.26 and 1:14.88

F/M Sprint in 1:19.90

Juvenile Fillies in 1:40.99, fastest ever for the event. Faster than any of the males ever in the Juvenile.

Distaff in 1:46.85, second fastest ever behind only Inside Information's 1:46.15 which was done around one-turn at Belmont.

Sorry Cannon I must have been typing same time as you I had not seen your post before I sent mine. No Doubt it's very fast but the old SA track was extrememly fast too I think one of the big factors is that they have no Ideal how to slow it down. But you know if every horse that raced today comes back good and lives to fight again I can live with the track being that fast

time is really irrelevant isnt it, as long as the track is safe. The turf course all meet has been crazy fast, but safe, where is the thread about that?

I just wish the pro ride would stop producing such crazy winners and prices, todays Breeders Cup was brutal on form.

I just went back and did a little research here is the old track records at SA when it was a dirt course.

6f-107.1
6 1/2f-113.3
7f-120 flat
1 1/16th 139 flat
1 1/8-145.4


So in ernest the only race that went faster than any of the previous dirt records were the filly and mare sprint and to be exact it was .10 faster.

SO to me to say the day was a joke just because the track was to fast is completely out there. I really think the times would have been very comparible if the races would have been on the old SA dirt track

Here's a thought the old Dirt track record for a 1 1/4 was 157.4 set by the great Spectacular Bid now do you think the classic tomorrow will be Over or Under the old track record Mark.

My self I say they go slower
