Of course they do. They are all looking at Sharp Azteca's 1 mile time and comparing that time to their 1 mile pars and adjusting their variants. If they looked at both horses 7fs, they'd be nearly identical, with TG having Cat Red a little faster for the extra ground loss.

Sharp Azteca ran up top in a blistering pace where any horse near the front completely collapsed. He ran a 6f time a few hundredths faster than Cat Red. At the halfway point, the 2nd-3rd-4th place finishers were 11th-10th-8th.

The 1:20.4 he ran in that race over 7 furlongs is a full 2+ seconds faster than any other 7f he had ever ran in his life. The same 7f that Cat Red got a 3.75 faster figure for two races earlier.

If the Pat Day Mile was actually the Pat Day Mile-And-An-Eighth, Sharp Azteca would have been given an even slower figure as he limped to the line. That still doesn't change the fact that he ran a ridiculously fast 1:20.4 over 7 furlongs in that race, a huge top.
