JB Said: "I did find out the following-- the timing process is far more sophisticated than it used to be even 10 years ago, when there was a moving strip of film. They are doing very high tech timing of each horse and the information and images go directly into a computer. Then that super accurate time data is converted into "lengths"-- which is where the problem is."
JB, Any progress in getting a definitive answer on the time vs.lengths formula from Equibase etal.
BTW, I assume that the time assigned to lengths in the Equibase charts is the same no matter what the distance of the race. If this is correct, could you explain (probably for the umpteen time) why a TG point is "worth" more points the longer the distance of the race. Thanks, Asfufh
