Of course, the 10' the horse has gone forward over that 18' needs to be subtracted out, so the horse goes about 8 extra feet, or about .37 of a TG pt."
Mall: You asked about a horse that leaves the rail and goes 6w IN the stretch, which costs next to nothing unless it's done in a ludicrous manner. If it didn't, we would have to adjust the numbers for horses who break from the 12-hole and make the rail by the turn.
