[KyRacer]

Here's an article on the TurfTrak system that is being tested at Keeneland. Can even tell how how much ground the horse covered during the race. Sounds promising.

From the article:How accurate is the formula that one length equals one-fifth of a second? "That may be totally erroneous," said Chuck Scaravilli, an Equibase vice president. "I've always said in a five-furlong race and a mile-and-an-eighth race, how can they be the same? We'll find out."
