(4) i'd say that this is correct and here is an example from tonight at evd.

in the 9th race bris had #6 femme la fitte with the top last out figure of 81 and eventual winner #8 scarlet tribute with a 74. about a 10 point difference on the beyer scale. however, beyer had scarlet tribute with a 54 in her last race compared to a humble 40 for femme la fitte.

so there is a huge 24 beyer point difference between the two sets of figures.

scarlet tribute won the race, beating femme la fitte by about a dozen lengths.
As a long time Bris data user, I've always said that I don't use their figures (pace or speed) and stated why. Although your example is a rather extreme one, comparing the 2 sets of figures, it doesn't surprise me that Beyers are better figs. I much prefer working with the raw times and adjusting them myself, then converting to velocities and, ultimately, rankings of those velocities.
