JB,
My Cousin Matt: 22.50, 46.34, 1:09.79, 1:22.12. Xtra Heat: 22.97, 45.57, 1:10.61, 1:24.76.
First, take a look at the final 1/8 My Cousin Matt ran into this wind.
Second, look at the differences in the times for the second quarter.
Matt was four fifths faster than X Heat at 6F and 13 fifths faster at the wire. Same distance, same wind. Did you look at the 6F fractions when you made the figures for these two races? Do you honestly believe that this track slowed down by seven points in half an hour? Or do you think X Heat ran a solid six furlongs and got tired?
