Appears HANA boycott of CA racing is hurting Santa Anita
Perception of fast times at Santa Anita?
The Visumatic timer originally caught the horse at 1:55 for the 1 3/16 mile, the third-fastest Preakness in history. When the timer proved faulty, the official time was changed to 1:54.4 (according to the Pimlico clocker), just two-fifths of a second off Cañonero's 1971 record. But two clockers from the Daily Racing Form insisted the clocking should have been a record-breaking 1:53.4
