I'm not sure how other people use them.
There may be great applications that I haven't come up with that others have. You tell me. :-)
I just use them to evaluate past performances because I know that works great.
Ex.
Pace-Final
100-100
120-88
93 (loose) - 106
100-100
105-96
Given the above series of races I know that the horse has been running approximately the same way in all his races even though it looks like he bounced off a peak and then recovered. No such pattern exists.
The pace figures simply help me interpret results, current form, and often explain fluctuations in final fgures that otherwise don't seem to make sense.
