Nothing new for me, I've always called in the accuracy of the figures on horses who ran extreme slow or extreme fast fractions and make my own hand adjustments. You can't make up lost time and there's some races where they go so fast early, it would be several points faster if Jerry had recorded the figure to an earlier pole.
One of the most extreme ones I can remember that I brought to his attention, was when Sharp Azteca looked like a play on Belmont Day after he "paired" in the Pat Day Mile, but it was clear if the race was measured to 6f, he had run 3 1/2 pts faster and would be a bounce candidate on Belmont day.
Oh look, I found it!
