First of all, they do run slower. If you mean on Andy's scale, I assume he adjusts the race to bring it into line.
You happened to pick the race that Friedman uses in all discussions to "prove" the weight correction they (and we) use is right, and he brought it up in Vegas in a broader context. His position is silly-- one race a year doesn't prove anything, especially when it always contains fully developed male horses, not 2yo fillies. But yes, the time is affected.
