LATE PACE ADVANTAGE

Mirrors EARLY_SPEED_ADVANTAGE but for late pace. Horses with superior late-pace figures maintain speed deep in the stretch when others tire. This is especially valuable in routes and in races with projected pace pressure, where early leaders fade and late energy decides the outcome. A 3-point advantage over the field median is a meaningful edge that regularly produces wins from off-the-pace running styles, particularly when combined with CLOSER_IN_PACE_DUEL.
