My clock said 1:15.60 for the 2YO race and 1:15:72 for the Open race. So the last 600 for the open race was a bit faster. Big deal.
There should be about 6 lengths, or 1 second (correct me if I'm wrong) between 2 year olds and open races. Give or take. So, the open race was waaaay slower, when taken into consideration.

Both races were VERY slow. 1.10 [Record for Sandown is 1.07.74] would be a reasonably quick race over 1200m on a good or dead track, but 1.15? That's about 30 lengths outside a decent time and over 40 lengths outside the track record! Was the track a heavy 9 or something? |
