Had a bet on with Paddy for Baaeed to beat Real World by 2 lengths or more. Thought I had the bet up but to my amazement the winning distance returned 1& 3/4 lengths. I have been up to projector screen and measured the distance and no way is it not over 2 lenghs unless they count the tail possibly?

If you are a fisherman you have decent bait BUT
These winning distances are actually calculated by horse finish times, not a distance stick visually on a screen.
1 second = X Lengths.
So 1m 37.76 seconds v 1m38.09 seconds is converted to 1 and 3/4 L.
This calc also takes the ground into consideration I think.
It just about marries up with the distance it visually was but can be a little out.
I thought that might be on the 2 and a 1/4 side of 2L if anything, seems harsh.

agree it did "look" 2l
0.31s between 1st & 2nd
6lps for flat racing on quick ground
6 x 0.31 = 1.86...rounded to 1.75
if had been 0.32s would have called 2l...u/l

Had same.. they pushed it out from 6/4 to 9/4 so obviously suspect stuff and right man in plate for help auld Jim lol commentator even said won 2 lengths but PP a crook sure ..
They actually installed a high power Fan 100yd out to be switched on as soon as the 2nd went past it , hence causing the 2nd to lose by 1.75L rather than 2L, HTH
Thanks for the replies, never knew that about the times calculating the distances.
I would suggest they have their figures wrong somewhere then.
It was only a free bet anyways but made worse by the fact I was going to roll the winnings on Hollie in the next race @8/1. Think she is destined to be top jockey soon.

With Coroebus chickening out what'd be his winning distance against these lot? Or another Inspiral?
