Does anybody know roughly how many lengths a second equates to in a 5f race, and is there a site that gives this info for all races?

I got from the BHA the lengths/sec scale, with the latest version 18/06/08.It only gives lengths/sec for the racecourses broken down into the going.The same measurements are used for all the distances.ieTurf good or quicker 6l/sec, good to good to soft 5.5l/sec and finally soft to slower 5l/sec.Ther are four sections flat-turf, flat-AWT,Jumps and HN flat AWT
