It was still a fast time. That assement is mostly incorrect. Adjust for weight and Nick rockett has run as fast if not faster than Noble yeats did depending on your view of distance for weight carried. Any Second now may come out on top. Those 2 were 20 lengths clear of the opposition which points to Any Second now being an exceptional horse in his prime and Noble yeats being incredibly well handicapped at the time. You could take a view that every other runner was poor in the race but that's unlikely.

Yesterday 12 lengths covered the first 7. 22 lengths covered the first 9 . Now either they are all very good or the ground was faster than gd-sft.

I'm not saying you're wrong but that sort of assessment of the time of a race to assess the ground is a guess.
