If someone were to look back at the posting history and how your responses to any of my posts are worded, I think any reasonable person would find it somewhat incredible that I would be accused of picking on you. The opposite is more like it.
I said I use BRIS PACE data (not their speed figures) as one tool to help better understand race shape and stretchout potential, instead of just guessing only based on visual assessment or breeding. I use them fully understanding the caveats that they are not taking ground, wind, weight, or other TG factors into account. I think they are of little use on their own without the higher-level context that TG figures provide but do find them helpful in doing something like completely dismissing Goldencents ability to run a better figure at 10F, as an example.
