May have to do with where they start and where the timers are.

Actually, it is because of the distance to the finish.
And, while considering that topic...
Ever wonder why closers typically fare better at 7fur compared to 6?
3f from the EP call instead of 2f.
Guess where that puts the 2nd call?
Same with 9f vs 8f.
