After more investigation I'm very sorry I started.

Anyway here is a race where the t600 discrepancy is an incredible 2.44 seconds.

So which time is credible?

Not that easy to figure out. Particularly since freak wind might be at play. So to partially nullify that I looked at 800m times.

The fastest 800m time I've found for Randwick 1200m races is 44.89 seconds.

Yet here Cooder recorded 43.19 and all but 1 of the 11 starters beat 44.89.

So I figure Sportscolour is very wrong.

Interestingly next time out Cooder featured in the Stewards Reports giving all indication he was knackered from the previous run.
