You simply cannot compare times a year apart as ground conditions connot possibly be the same but let's say for a moment you can. 1.07s is about 5 lengths. Sanctuaire was weakening a good furlong before the Pond fence because he had gone too fast in the previous mile and a half.

I would argue if anything it lends weight to the went-too-fast theory.
