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.

You have an obsession with trying to point out that knowing how fast a horse runs in a race from start to finish is worthless information.
I'm not even sure what you consider to be non worthless info other than the timing jocks give in their rides.
Tell me how you define what you call a wipeout?
