The fact that I was up late had nothing to do with your post. The edit was a single edit for a typo because the issue was whether the track "sped" up, not "speed" up. Clearly the track was getting faster late. The issue is whether it was slowed down by multiple lengths in 30 minutes before it started a "generally faster time trend" Thorograph thinks it did took a substantial "slowing hit" in one race that applied to the Strub as well. I don't.

Still not sure where you stand. Maybe, you dont have a firm conviction either way.
