I've always used the one length = one pound ratio to estimate a jumps performance, which I think is the standard BHA assumption. Any opinions on how good that holds for a 3 mile chase on decent ground (I realise a slog in the mud can distort matters)?
Also, I've been looking for a similar ratio for time. I can't find anything specific, but do recall a figure of one second = five lengths, but that might be a comparison for a faster run flat race?
Any opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.

The judge now gives winning distances which are not really distances but are converted from the finishing time recorded by the photo-finish camera.
The conversion factors used can be found at: http://www.britishhorseracing.com/resources/raceday-operations/lengths-per-second.asp So 4, 4.5 or 5 lengths per second over jumps, depending on the going. |

Thanks for that. I think that's what I was missing.
