The Pantheon?

That's a wild statement to make


There wouldn't be .05 of Second between 20 winners racing on similar ground...if the second stops it makes the winner look faster simple as

That's a wild statement too, Tanlic.

0.05s is less than half a length.

There's actually 14.1s between the fastest, Poet Prince in 1941, and the fifth fastest, Long Run in 2011. Presumably they were all run on fast ground.

That's about 70 lengths and not far short of a furlong.

I'd presume the starting and finishing points will have moved at some stage and that the ground might have been much firmer back in pre-watering days but it's still huge margins.
