Pace figures are infinitely harder to make. I made them in NY for a long time.

What makes it so difficult is that the wind, track speed in certain locations, starting gate placement etc.... can have a very big impact on specific fractions.

For example:

1. 6 furlongs might have 2F into the wind, 2 furlongs with a cross wind, and 2 furlongs against the wind. 2 with wind and 2 against means the fractions could be wildly different from a windless race, but the final times could be similar.

2. Horses rate. So you can't really project fractions with the same degree of accuracy as you can with final time.

Logic Dictates sells PACE FIGURES (and trips/bias) based on the Beyer scale that are very similar to the ones I made for myself. They are worth it even though the pace figure process cannot be as as accurate as speed figures. I buy them from Logic because of the great value.
