The basic problem with speed figures in turf races is that the final times are, irrelevent is a simplistic word, maybe simplisticly misleading. The pace is a major determinent of the final time and it is often only the final 5/16 to 1/4 mile where real running is done. It is a totally different animal than dirt racing where final time is of much greater importance.
