I don't do turf racing. I have a par half mile for 80 - a par 6fs for 80 - and a par final time for 80 and I tell if the pace is fast that way.

The run-up and position of the rails really screw them up. When the rails are out 72 feet and the run-up is 150 feet at GP - you'll see them go 20 and change for 5f on turf and the pace will hold up. Make the run-up like 15 feet and they'll go like 21.60 and hit a wall.
