So they can make adjustments to figures that were impacted by extreme paces so they make sense.

Let's keep this simple.
Whether you are measuring horseracing, car racing, or human racing pace is the independent
variable and final time is the dependent variable.
There continue to be that assumption there is something about horseracing in terms of movement that is mysterious and only a few can interpret a racehorse movement with some innocuous metric called a speed figure.
It is good that there are people who develop handicapping methods, but please stop the nonsense, Newton's laws will always and absolutely prevail when it comes to the motion of any object: man, machine, or beast.
