John (I think that's you) Mike pretty much sticks with 6f races (by the way he's on here but not posting) and figures his own numbers out (the formula usually gives a front runner) But it seems easy enough to tell a race pace by times and then judge an individual horse by lengths back. I could see it may be of help when comparing a field from different tracks but that only works if the numbers are correct. Also I think a horse that was pushed on the lead for most of the race and finishes well is more of a positive than a horse that was clear on the lead with no pressure regardless of finish times provided they're relatively close.
Was at trackside fri-sat. Some things never change.
See ya soon!
