"One tells me that Bandini probably bounced from here to the moon and the other tells me that Bandini hadn't run an especially fast race relative to his prior performances to begin with and lost for other reasons."
The one that tells you Bandini hadn't run an especially fast race is probably wrong, since the method used to calculate those figures doesn't include many of the relevant variables.
As usual, you don't address some of the more relevant points...
Why would you prefer Pace Figs or your own figs without WIND, as just one variable for example?
Talk about WIND, not PACE. Figures without WIND have to be garbage. Seriously.
Explain to me how pace figures are useful without including wind? How do you compare .45 half miles, one with a 30MPH headwind and one with no wind? There is just no comparison. If your figures (or Pace Figures) don't take this into account, aren't they absolutely useless?
