This is what we know: that in 3 races they ran certain fractions, and certain raw final times (and even conclusions about that are dependent on the teletimer,wind, and track speed. And they have had some wind down there recently).

Considering the above, and sample size, it's a little silly to draw firm conclusions as to cause and effect, no?

I would be interested in knowing whether Beyerguy has done any large population studies about fractions as they relate to final time.

CH-- be smart. If you are not going to address the above DIRECTLY, leave it alone.
