Bill,
Comparing sprints to short routes, the first 2 call times are all at the same distances (2f and 4f) so you can compare
Projected Pace for the mix of sprinters and routers here.
The clear E horse, the #2 sprinter appears to own much of the first 2 factions (RAW) as neither the #1, #3 or #6 appear to offer much of a challenge at the front end through 4f. The #4 faces the same or superior early call times as the #2, but will NOT be challenging the #2 for the lead.
I wish the #2 had shown more Late energy disbursement (L/ep, LPR, FX) - any sign that it can stretch out to ~8f. So, it's unknown what it will do past 6f. It will likely conserve some energy from facing less pressure early than shown, but who knows if it's enough to last against a consistent closer and late horse like the #1.
But, re
Projected Pace, you can compare early points of call in sprints versus short routes (< 9f).
Was that your question?
Ted
