no its not

because overall race times are giving you the full picture of each race when truly run

lets reverse it

put FM in the 3yo handicap..he will be able to go the early pace easily and have petrol left at the end and beat the other horse easily

if we had split times you would be able to see that the handicapper had an easier time early and was allowed to run his race at a pace comfortable to him.

lets say for another argument - that both races were run in the same overall time..your argument then would deem the handicapper would have dead heated with CC?...when in fact he wouldn't because when the injection of pace came he would be left behind because the better horses have more acceleration..yes.. in a slow run race the handicapper might be closer than his rating would suggest..but he still couldn't accelerate to the same degree.
