Was the track faster on Saturday or in 1973?
Before my time but undoubtedly track was way faster in \'73. 2 1/2 inch cushion vs 4 today, more sand and less clay now.
Can\'t use the current Rag/TG relationship, either (even to the degree there is one any more). When we started we were about the same scale as them, it changed over time because they continued to use pars (which is dead wrong), thus freezing the ability of the breed as a whole in place. Andy has the same problem. Both have said they stopped using them a while back, I have my doubts, but even if they did they used them for at least 20 years after we stopped.
