I just saw her do it with the greatest of ease. Another good one for Al Stall it appears.

Could be, but that track is probably souped up. There sure are some fast times recorded on synthetics.

conveyor belt.
she was even more impressive in the walking ring to me than in her fast race, although she is a talented horse in top condition. Some things besides the track that i wasn't thrilled with.

The track was lightning fast.
A subsequent allowance race went 1:07 4/5 en route to 1:14 2/5 for 6 1/2 Furlongs.

I can't figure how they made poly so lightning fast for one to break a track record. It just seems plain odd!!! Honestly, it does. But then, too, I've only played the meet one day. When for years past, it was everyday, Spring and Fall.
I'd rather play NYRA these days, which has been the case for a long time now.

they are also saying that a strong headwind down the stretch made the times faster than the norm

Plus, even if there were a tailwind in one direction (either the backstretch or the homestretch), wouldn't the horses have had to run into (against) the wind when they were going the other direction?

This was all about the wind. The impact is more on the back stretch than the home stretch because the finish line is not exactly on the turn where they started from (and the impact is obv even more pronounced on 7f races). Additionally, the wind was a bit cool today and at 25-30mph sustained it undoubted cooled the track surface temp, which make poly faster.
For those of you scratching your heads wondering why a track super wanted to make the track faster today, it doesn't make any sense because it didn't happen that way. Conspiracy theories

Let me get this straight... a FTS set the track record?
And people wonder why the speed numbers on this track are goofy?
