Observations

Computed
  • Run 1 is typically +16.05% off the PAX winner; Galen finishes around +13.28%, so about 2.8 points come over the remaining runs.
  • Galen is typically within 1 point of final pace by run 4.
  • Median gap went from +13.01% in the first half of these events to +13.42% in the second half.
  • Run 1 is where mistakes happen most: 44% of run 1s were coned or DNF.
  • 2 coned runs were faster than the time that counted. The biggest, at TXR E3, would have been 0.499 s quicker and 12 PAX places higher clean.
