I don't know if they were correct. I saw that, then saw the screen at Santa Anita and it said something different.

Now, this is a more credible official information:

2 furlongs: 22.48 (Tapizar)
4 furlongs: 45.64 (Tapizar)
6 furlongs: 1:09.92 (Tapizar)
8 furlongs: 1:35.07 (Anthony's Cross)
9 furlongs: 1:48.63 (Anthony's Cross)

Whew! :shock:

19.11 would be almost impossible if not totally impossible. I think 42 might be possible. I personally witnessed a 42 4/5 half mile at Golden Gate Fields many years ago recorded by the very fast Vikingson.

It looked like he had the race in hand and then just hit a wall.

The Gotham Stakes edition won in dead heat by LURE had really scintillating fractionals for the first and second quarter. He ran in front
until the last step but understandably struggled during the final part of the race. The only other example capable of sustaining the lead while keeping such a torrid pace was Holy Bull.

Hi reenci,
You're memory is correct, Lure and Devil His Due battled throughout fractions of 22.1, 43.4 and finished in a dead heat at the wire in 1:35.63. Lure bounced off the rail more than once. TJ

The race appears at:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJXIupRSgHQ

The person describing the race proclaims
2 furlongs in :22 1/5 and
4 furlongs in :43 4/5
Hmmm, would really like to double check that information.
