Jerry, you may be saying this implicitly when you say that you 'look to see how the fractions came up versus the other races' but I would think that you should look to how fast the field came home relative to the early fractions in the race. For example, if the fractions of a race are:
24.3 49.3 114.0 137.2 149.0 it would seem more reasonable to consider a pace adjustment than if the race went:
24.3 49.3 114.0 138.2 149.4
The second race is slower but seems more likely due to a slow surface as opposed to a slow early pace.
Thoughts?
