The horse had a horrendous trip at FG --- a trip that, basically, NO horse would've won with. Then, she gets a perfect trip at GP. Where's the need to quantify? Where's the need to explain why she ran 'faster'? Common sense dictates that she certainly ran significantly faster with the easy trip, as any horse that's run off its feet early, making a huge move early in a race where ALL the chasers collapse, would not come home very fast (certainly not as fast as it would with a better setup).

Figures will become relevant, IMO, when we match the figure with the race type and the type of trip the horse had within that type. Point me to someone doing that.
