While on the subject of yesterdays track surface speeds, its interesting to compare the times of the 2YO's from both races yesterday.

At Randwick Polar Success ran 58.30 for the 1000m, while at Flemington Ra Sun ran 58.32 (albeit much slower early pace) over the same distance. Considering Randwick was 5.25 lenghts slower, Polar Success's run on the surface to be of a higher quality.
