For purposes of checking that the distances are in line we lump all the classes (meaning all the winning figures) at the distance together, both because we want the sample size to be indicative and because class to class you could have ones where the sprinters are stronger over the short term at one circuit, etc. For the purposes of 1 turn/2 turns we do the same thing with the individual figures, rather than average the class averages (in effect counting the popular vote as opposed to the electoral one).

Since 1 1/8th at Aqu is pretty much the only 2 turn distance they run I can tell you they came up in line without looking it up. I could look up the 2 turns at Bel but they run very few (especially claimers, and even fewer cheap claimers, which would distort things), and some of those are washed off grassers, so it wouldn't be meaningful.
