The pace is fast in straight sprints and straight miles due to no turns. No turns to slow horses. absolutely cannot compared to NA turn races.
In turn races they usually are usually run in packs in Europe at a slow pace.

That quote says the pace was generally faster in turf races than it was in North America. It doesn't say the pace is generally fast. Poor interpretation of my words on your part.
I know all about turns and uphill and downhill. I lived in Europe for five years and attended quite a few tracks in my time there.
