As I mentioned in my reponse to Mike, Friedman made it clear in a post on his board about 4 (?) years ago that they were using pars, and that was why you could compare horse of different eras. I had a discussion with him under an alias, and pointed out that was ass-backwards-- if the breed as a whole improved you wouldn't be able to tell. He said he saw my point. Whether that caused the change I can't tell you, but even though horses have continued to get faster on our figures they no longer have gotten FASTER relative to Ragozin, and Friedman said at the DRF Expo that they no longer use pars.
