Probably not, but it is quite typical that the 50's run their 25 mile 
splits faster than the 25 mile event is run. Next time just divide the 
50 times in half and compare them to the 25 mile times. This winning 50 
was running twice as fast as the winning 25.

Now for something more interesting - multiply the 25 mile winning time 
by 4 (16:16). and compare that to the 100's. You have to go down to the 
22 second horse to finish the 100 to find a time slower than 16:16. In 
the FEI division there were no times slower than 16:16.

So the both the long race and the middle race were faster - by a large 
amount than the short race.
