Michael-- in the case of actual "S. Pace" races (as opposed to a race with slow but not extreme fractions where we DO use the final time), I am very conscious of NOT giving out new tops in the situation you mentioned. As a general rule, once you adjust for ground loss, it comes out okay without having to give the frontrunner a new top. And it did in the Blue Grass-- it held together well, as you can see from the 5 that are in the Derby/Oaks package.
