Miff,
I made pace figures for myself for many years. I had a several year database of fractions to work with. It is impossible to make pace figures that are of equal quality to speed figures. They are helpful, but not as accurate. I buy them from someone else now. He makes them well. Less work for me.
I think it is necessary to both look at pace figures AND actually watch the races to see how hard horses are actually being used at various points in the race. The two methods often reinforce or contradict each other. It's helps to know how certain you are about your conclusions because of the complexities.
