Back to Heat Haze-
I do have a copy of the race (Flower Bowl Hcp) from the BC web site. Which path she is in on the first turn is relative. The horses on the hedge are clearly NOT in the one path, but are racing a little wide. Heat Haze is lapped on Prime Time Valentine, who is racing behind Dimitrova. Notice where Dimitrova is. If she gets a 1w in the first turn, how can Heat Haze get more than a 2w?
This brings forward a very significant problem: how to interpret, or assign values for, turns where the path changes, and also the problem you mentioned, which is rounding of path values. In high class races, differences of 1 point become very important.
