My hunch proved right - that's exactly what they just did.

The 9f races (Hystericalady and Curlin) were split from the 8.5 furlong races (Pyro and Mambo)

It was a VERY questionable thing to do because the Pyro race came in between the HL and Curlin race - and tracks don't speed right up and slow right back down again - but... they have become very split variant happy when making the Beyer Figs - so it certainly seemed like a very safe bet they would do that... and I was a bit surprised they didn't do it initially.
