Good luck handicapping GP turf??? - Pace and Cap

Things not reported by the PPs:

In the last week in two five furlong turf races at Gulfstream one race was run using a 5 foot runup and resulted in a 22.76 first fraction; another used a 165 foot runup and resulted in a 21.33 first fraction.

In 4, 7.5 furlong turf races one run up was 5 feet; 26.26 first fraction; another with 76 feet run up - 24.21 1F; another with 136 feet runup - 24.09 1F and finally, 152 ft run up - 25.33 1F

Now look, I did not research the class level of the race or the number of E or EP types in each field. My point is, if you matched pace lines you would have a real problem unlocking who was fastest early. BEWARE.

If you know this information and can utilize it to your advantage, good on 'ya.

Cheers
