chicken or egg (1119 Views)

I'm trying to understand how DRF and Equibase come up with a lengths beaten number.

I've seen finish line photos with a time strip up at the top. I know they use one-fifth of a second is equal to one length. So if a horse loses by 5 lengths according to them, are they saying he was one second behind the winner according to the time strip and we think that equals five lengths or are they saying that the horse lost by five lengths because that is what we measured?
