Perhaps Mark, but there are many situations in dirt routes where this is also a good thing to look at. Or even in sprints if a pace analysis shows there are several front runners who may burn out, you would like to know who will be picking up the pieces (BC Sprints are usually a good example).
I find it to be an extremely relevant piece of evaluating derby contenders, which was the topic of this string. Actually any situation where horses are stretching out, the late pace figure is a good (but not only) indicator as to how well they will perform stretching out. It provides a statictical backing to the statement "Came Home will not like 1 1/4 miles".
