Did someone forget to mow the grass when everyone was at GP West?
Probably the strangest thing I've seen with regards to race times. I can't figure it out. Trainers and jockeys were saying there was no way the course was firm, but even so, the times are so slow they defy belief. I don't know what you can do to a course to slow it down that much other than just flooding it with water or not cutting the grass for a long time. It didn't look overly wet or anything.

What I did was check the races this weekend against about a dozen replays on the same course and distance. If the times are wrong, they are all wrong. The time gap between the races this weekend and the races from June and July match the posted times.
