This is just from memory, but the UAE track does not give up intermediate times like this very often. The 111 six furlong split and the mile time look to be competitive with any US track times.

Last years winner Thunder Snow ran 113.86-138.70-157.78 on other than fast track. TS won the big race yesterday running 113.89 - 137.21

Yesterday's Fla Derby ran 111.68 - 136.46 interior splits

The UAE Derby and FLA Derby winners will be hard to separate if you use The Hat's Marathon Method to determine your KD choice!
