The fact that race shape (difference in times for each individual quarters) can have an important effect on race results beyond just pace figures is why I find the ability to click for individual quarter sectionals (splits) in times and pace figures in the TimeformUS PPs. The effect of stop and go racing is just as dramatic as that of stop and go driving and is not something considered in traditional handicapping. We saw this effect at work in the Travers as pointed out in the article.
The trick now is how to quantify for the effect of these quick changes in quarter times.
