Doesn't beaten lengths HAVE to be a measurement of TIME, and not distance. They appear to be measuring the amount of additional TIME it took for the trailing horses to cross the finish line. There are no beaten lengths, as that would be a snapshot of the field as the WINNER crossed the Finish Line, a measurement that is not used.
So its all about the conversion ratio thats used (time/lengths). As long as you *know* what it is, the actual figure barely matters to an outfit like TG , as they are using FINAL TIME and not lengths to arrive at the figure. They could use .15 .20 .50 , and the figure would be just as accurate.
TGJB, you agree?
