To do effective “pace internal” handicapping we need an accurate way of measuring the horses’ internal moves so we can relate them to the fractional clockings. Such an accurate measurement method isn’t forthcoming, so instead of effective pace handicapping, we have just guesswork. It’s like telling the drug dealer to measure his cocaine with a penny scale.
