EC1 three sectionals with intervals of roughly 2 minutes seems very broad to make direct comparisons. we can't see anything about how the race was run in the intermittent period, was it consistent pace or a stop start. Was it a slow pace for F 7,8,9 and then speed up for F10,11,12 or consistently the same for F 7-13 for example. the differences in between are important because different styles of races will affect a horses energy and rhythm in different ways.
How do you take account of these issues or do you not find them relevant?
