Because I added all the average times and it comes to 2:02 or so; I dont think that's the average time of a horse in the derby, its most likely the average winning times. But are you just taking the pace call, or the winners fractions or..?

The times are the average time of the leader at each quarter of the KY Derby from 1948-2007. These times came from the historical Derby records on the Churchill Downs website and can be found in an Excel spreadsheet in an earlier post, KY Derby Average Times, 1948-2007, posted by me in this thread.
