There are some tracks - Saratoga for instance - where the paces in 6.5 furlong races are always much faster than the paces at 6fs and 5.5s. You could assemble the slowest NY breds around - and they have a shot at going 21 and change for a first quarter going 6.5f at Saratoga.
It's why you need pace figures - and it's why you should have pars for every single distance at the track.

I would never compare the one-turn fractions to the two-turn fractions. I know you can't compare the two.
