TGJB,
I didn't know what Michael meant. That's why I was clarifying.
The only reason I have been commenting about pars is because of the issue of whether Beyer's CA figures are systematically too fast or other areas of the country are systematically too slow.
I am of the opinion, that CA is generally OK and other parts of the country are suspect on the slow side. (TP for one)
IMHO, the best way determine "where" the problem is when using Beyer's scale is by looking at how fast horses are running relative to the norm/par.
If one entire circuit is slower than normal and another is running right at normal and you know based upon racing results that one of them is wrong, you can be pretty sure it's the slow circuit that's wrong.
That's what my analysis of CA suggests.
