Great points easy goer.

Remember too that timing was far less accurate in 1920. Are races were timed manually and it's not like they could verify "odd" times with a videotape. Starts were chaotic and a few 1/2 seconds one way or the other make a big difference.
Tracks were not groomed and prepared surfaces as they are today. Drainage was dreadful and the condition "heavy" was common.
