Also when I see a kid has ran a 100 yard dash in 11 seconds I know he's not as fast as a kid who just ran it in 10.5 seconds without actually seeing them run.
We don't put "Speed Figures" on any other type of racing except horses?
Why aren't raw times good enough?

Because of different distances and tracks and surfaces.
Which is faster, a mile in 1:34 at Aqueduct or on in 1:35 at Turfway?
