The winning time over a fast track was 1:53.46, then considered to be tied for the fastest time ever with the clocking of 1:532⁄5 (which can range from 1:53.40-1:53.59) set in 1985 by Tank's Prospect and tied in 1996 by Louis Quatorze.[1] However, the current record for the race is 1:53.00, retroactively credited to Secretariat in 2012 after a timer malfunction in the 1973 Preakness Stakes.[3]
