On St. Valentine's Day at Hialeah Park last week, the Goose flew as he had never flown before. Flashing by the seven-furlong marker in 1:21 1/5 (world-record time), Coaltown was ten lengths in front and still pulling away. At the mile, stop watches caught him in 1:34 1/5 (a shade faster than Equipoise's world record set at Arlington Park...
