IMO...the main problem with the Quirin Speed Points is that they focus entirety on the quarter-mile of the sprint...and the quarter-mile leader will often get swallowed-up by a faster horse by the time the half mile comes around. Taking the lead at the quarter mile, and controlling the early pace, aren't the same thing.
