I'll have the sheets updated by tomorrow morning. All the figs are done.

Speaking of timing...I wonder if there was some sort of error in the timing of the Louisiana Derby.
This year marked the 4th time they've run the race at the 1m316 distance.
here are the splits for each one:
2020: 23.56-48.00-112.42-137.61-156.47
2021: 23.10-47.04-111.25-136.38-155.06
2022: 23.27-47.35-111.69-136.16-154.28
2023: 24.71-49.60-114.69-139.13-157.33
I know you cannot compare times from one year to the next at face value, but still, it seems awfully slow.
My pace figs were 20pts below par for this class & distance. Raw times (before applying the variant) were about 12pts slow. I had all of the other six routes on card faster than par for the 1/2m and 3/4m.
I have never been a fan of breaking a race out and applying an arbitrary number to fit what I think 'should have been', but I'm wondering if something went wrong timewise for this rarely run (once a year) distance.
