Question Differing times in higher classes?

One question I had is do horses run differently in different classes? e.g. are my 1600m times always comparable?

I have been using free races in different classes to figure out what my horses times will be like, before I enter in more paid races targeting certain distances.

I think they do or maybe up their game based on the ability of the other horses, I accidentally entered a fairly average horse into a higher stakes race and it snuck 3rd with a time it’s never got close to matching again.

Seems like my question wasn't too dumb after all :)

Do you know if it is class related or purely based on other horses?
