I say it was sheer unfair that the record was broken I say unless the road was in the same condition as Dan patches road it should not be considered broken

No. Dan Patch was buried somewhere on the farm property, but the exact location was never disclosed.

1:55 was Dan Patch's time for pacing the mile. One minute 55 seconds. The record stood for many years, and if ground conditions had not improved drastically, I doubt it would ever have been broken.

Because other owners were unwilling to race against him, Marion Savage took him around the country and put on exhibitions. He always drew large crowds, and occasional broke his own records. 1:55, though considered unofficial, was his fastest time at pacing a mile, a record that stood for 39 years.
