They came home the last 200m slower because they ran the last 600m sub 33.5, Maria Farina 31.86. I don't know how accurate these times are as top class horses usually run 33 or so last 600m times. I have wondered for a while about these sectional times. noting that they occur often on the all weather tracks. There they run a slow first part of the race, running home strongly last 600m. By the way, Legarto ran 33.47 last 600m at Pukekoke on a G4 track in the Eight Carat Classic, 33.01 in the NZ 1000 Guineas (S5), 34.46 in the Soliloquy Stakes (G4).
