It's not a good idea to make adjustments for pace at the "race level" because individual horses within a race will run different fractions and therefore will be impacted differently.
What I would do is report the actual speed figures for each horse, but add a notation that the figure was probably impacted by the extreme pace.
Then if I had some kind for formula for adjusting a performance based on pace, I would create another number for each horse that represented his actual ability/performance.
