I agree with this completely. Racing HR and training HR are too variable, if that makes any sense.
Here is Pfitzinger's take. Last section talks about races.

I ran a mile and I liked it, liked it, liked it. dgb2n@yahoo.com

I've used the HRM on a marathon and half and for me, it is most useful during races only as an indicator of when you're pushing too hard. On a marathon, I've seen strategies that say, stay below 80% max heart rate (measured not the 220-age formula) for the first half, then let it climb from there.
