Late Pace Figures for Derby Preps

[Thunder Gulch]

Just for my information, can you please tell us what part you are looking at? Is it the 2nd call to the wire, or are you putting a figure on the early part to look at the race shape in relation to final time?

If you are talking 2nd call to wire, I understand what you are saying about closers having no shot when the late fig is higher, but what if it's the closer that posts that figure? To me the early pace is more telling such as you mention in SoCal where they are going fast early.
