Thank you. If your hangover "remedy" worked, I wouldn't be cranky. No. You're not subtracting. If the pace is slow, you detach the race from the other turf races run that day. Then you make the figures based on the previous numbers of the horses in the slow-pace race. Subtraction doesn't enter into it. In your example, the horses would get a number five points faster than raw time would dictate. But you haven't gotten there by subtracting. You have gotten there by detaching. By talking about subtraction, you are giving people the impression that you knock, say, two points off the figures if the pace is a second slow. You don't do this.
