Hi beyerguy,
Isn't one of the flaws for pace figures that you're relying on an eyeball estimate for lengths back rather than teletimer distances? If the tracking equipment ever gets implemented it would be a different story, of course. And, yes, ground loss is also an eyeball measurement but at least it's only one!
I was also interested in your comment regarding the futility of using pace figures to determine who leads etc. I've been dipping my toe in these waters and I was slightly surprised to see how the same horse can run markedly different first quarter times in different races.
Cheers,
George
