Huh?

This is the part that can be confusing. It was a slow pace for California Chrome, the winner. The winner's final time figure is the baseline for our red/blue coding. That is about the best I can explain it.
I'll try one other way. Let's say a maiden claimer was in the race that is about a 60 type horse. He was in third a length off the opening quarter for a 90 pace figure. Wouldn't that be "fast" for him while still be slow for graded stakes horses? This is the same thing as Alfa Bird, only to the extreme.
