A 90 is around par for older, G1 males. Keep in mind that is at the finish. Also, a 90 at 1/4 mile in a 6f race is running faster than a 90 at 1/4 mile in a 7f race, and even faster than a 90 at 1/4 mile in a 9f race.
The pace figures are meant to relate how the fractions compare to the final time, not so much for comparing who is faster on different surfaces and at different distances. I have different tools for that. Of course on the same surface/distance, they can certainly be used as a means of comparison.
