Pontefract Ground

Time 1.18.04 Slow by 2.84 or +0.47 per furlong.

Sorry Rat - what does that translate to?

I would guestimate just on the slower side of good.

Perfick thanks lads...

for a 0-70 handicap thats not a slow time

08/06/2009 =77.04 (official going = good)
09/06/2008 = 76.74 (official going = good)

It certainly isn't a quick one?

Race 2 (not truly run) 2.18.02 vs std 2.11.40 = 6.62 slow =-0.66 pf,

going by the first race the next should be run in something like 1m 46.4

So are we talking good ground? No jar innit?

i would say its ever so slightly on the faster side of good - you can't go by official going descriptions

Race 3 - 1.44.51 vs 1.43.60 standard so +0.91 = +0.11 per furlong

Decent standard of horse for track but winner significantly faster than the rest.

first race was 1m 17.35 according to sporting life website

and 2m 17.09 for the second, where are you getting your winning times from ratpack?

From the track pa

Which are the same as the POst website. Take care of those SL times then because they are not in line with the official ones.

Official description about right, ever-so-slightly on the slower side of good but no more.

Sporting life have been wrong on several times recently.

Should carry a wealth warning.

I was quoting SL times, someone else using rp (unknown to both of us) I was suggesting a totally different going. Official formbook carried the rp times, so why SL use different ones is unclear?

Race 4 4.03.97 std 3.52.00 Slow 11.97 =+0.66 per furlong

depends what standards you use. The ones I use give:

Race
1: + 9L/m
2: + 18L/m
3: + 1L/m
4: + 4L/

Dropping the first two looking at just on the slow side of Good (+0.06 s/f).

It doesn't matter what standard times you use, you need to compare them with the actual time of the race: it's a bit disconcerting that two sources have different race times

of course it f*** matters what standards you use. Every organisations standard times are different.

Race 5 - 2.13.22 Strd 2.11.40 Slow 2.82 =+0.28pf

Faster than maiden by 4.80 secs.

so now I've got
1: +9L/m
2: +18L/m
3: +1L/m
4: +4L/m
5: 0

Its bang on Good ground imo.

Sorry should be +1.82 so +0.18 pf

Race 6 1.18.89 Std 1.15.20 +3.69 =+0.61 per furlong
