i think if you check sectionals in US you will find that most early pace to halfway is quite similar bewteen classes..in even pace races...yes higher class horses go just that stride quicker early..but most part of superiority is the last half of the race..its not just an isolated incident..again this highlights the thinking that linear 2 secs is worth 28lb just can't apply..its not representaive of the gulf between two horses with overall times differing by 2 seconds..2 seconds is some superiority over the last part of a race
