This data suggests that horses have different abilities at 6F vs. 7F . However it is based on using one set of criteria from one piece of software in one race. A larger study may or may not show the same.
Such information can be useful in trying to predict performance at one distance based on performance at the other. What we are trying to study here, however, is how different patterns have different success rates and then whether this varies at different distances and surfaces, which are somewhat different questions.
