The longer the race, the higher the second per length will be. US races don't exactly cover a vast range of distances. (1m 2f a 'marathon'???) But if you're looking at a 2.5m or 3m NH race, using .2 per length will obviously give prhttps://community.betfair.com/u.s._horse_racing/go/thread/view/94202/28814173/help-please---how-long-does-it-take-a-racehorse-to-run-1-length?post_id=515096029#515096029Well precisely.

Actually, 0.22 is probably closer! (If we're being pedantic, it does depend on how long the race is. You can turn the full race distance of the winner into lengths, and then use that to calculate a more accurate time fohttps://community.betfair.com/u.s._horse_racing/go/thread/view/94202/28814173/help-please---how-long-does-it-take-a-racehorse-to-run-1-length?post_id=514776733#5147767330.2's a decent rule of thumb.
