A strong race from start to finish.. run and won by a strong horse.. the time was pretty good..
Definitely not a bad time at all. The voiceover at the halfway point said 1:15. The track record is 2:24, Secretariat of course. :’)
2nd best to Sercretariot’s record of 2:26, American Pharoah time was 2:26 3/5.
That was a nice time, wasn’t it? 2:26.65. Secretariat ran each quarter faster than the preceding quarter, accelerating at the finish, winning with a long lead; by the math, couldn’t have had a 1:15 first half. That jockey put on the gas during the back stretch, and just went by everyone after just keeping pace. That horse had an abnormally large heart, if memory serves.
