which suggests that the final race time for the Prix Fox was actually slower than the Prix Niel, not faster. The sectionals quoted on there would suggested that Sarafina covered the final furlong in 11.53 seconds and Reliable Man 11.93 seconds but RM looked to be eased down at the end.
Not sure how accurate this but surely they shouldn't be as far apart in the betting as they are.
Clearly the trainer doesn't think much between them and with Reliable Man carrying 3lbs more that day, yet getting weight from Sarafina on Arc day, even more in his favour.
The times are confusing, "Arrivee" shows the final time as officially published. As you say, the Prix Foy is different to the final time per sectionals, though the Prix Niel is the same?
Something not add up there.
