10fs at CD is a distance where I don't have pars to make a pace figure - it's not a commonly run distance.
But yeah, the 2000 Classic pace was certainly a lot slower than this years.
The 4th quarter fraction is often a pretty good tell in races at that distance. That's the part of the race where stretch runners need to start making up considerable ground. It's a hell of a lot easier a task for stretch runners when that 4th quarter is in 26 flat - when it's in 24 flat - they better have a rocket up their ass.
