I used to use RP standards a lot before I compiled my own and they were pretty good for the flat , they are miles out for the jumps. As for Raceform , I find the goinghttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30290947/royal-ascot-going-allowances?post_id=540128309#540128309The 14s gap between the 5f and 6f standard on raceform is just wrong far too much.

I haven't seen that happen at all this year but I've seen it quite a few times in previous seasons and it would skewhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30290947/royal-ascot-going-allowances?post_id=540127735#540127735My guess is where the median time errors have appeared is due to the 5f trip sometimes riding faster than the rest of the straight.

There's no excuse for not being able to get standards accurate to within .1 of a second over a reasonable period of time.

Are you saying every standard is now either on the second or half second?https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30290947/royal-ascot-going-allowances?post_id=540127541#540127541Grendel, sorry I've not had a look at RP standards for a long time, sounds like they've changed a lot then.

I don't know what RP standards are like now but going off that information the RP version for those distances looks far more on the ball than Raceform.https://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30290947/royal-ascot-going-allowances?post_id=540127485#540127485In my view, median times are open to far more failings than standard times.

RP have a 1 second faster standard than raceform over the 5f trip but 2.1 seconds faster over 6f, this equates to a 1.2 secs per mhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_antepost/go/thread/view/94098/30290947/royal-ascot-going-allowances?post_id=540127413#540127413It's amazing the disparity between RP standards and raceform median times in relation to the 5f and 6f races at Ascot.
