This is my last post regarding MD racing. The 9th race at 5 1/2f on the grass at Laurel today. I understand the turf course is rock hard and very fast right now so sub 22 second fractions seem reasonable, and Uncle Youdge and Jarvis Steel are two very fast horses. I'm still a little unsure of the opening fraction of 21.13. According to equibase the run-up for that race is only 10 ft. Normally with a run-up that small you don't see 21 flat opening quarters. I may be totally wrong and maybe it's legit but that may be the fastest 1/4 mile I've ever seen with a run-up of only 10 feet.
