Thanks for the explanation. I'm still wondering if other tracks do it like Gulfstream, especially given what Storm Cadet reported being told at Saratoga.

I had assumed that many here would know the answer--a few here make their own speed figs and others, like me, rely heavily on the figs of Beyer or others. Plus, pace figs would depend heavily on whether the fractional timers were moved. Now I'm not feeling as bad about not knowing the answer myself!
