Every other track and even Gulfstream for any distance but 7.5f give you this:
Official Distance
Time for that official distance
Run up distance, i.e. the rest
For this distance, Gulfstream is giving you this:
Official Distance (even "about" can be official)
Time for a DIFFERENT distance than the official distance (exactly 7.5f)
Inaccurate run up distance, i.e. the rest
Technically, if you use about, you can call the run up whatever you want. But then you have to time ALL of the rest and give it to us.

...In addition, what I find interesting is that for the "about 7.5" the race heading lists a time of (1:28 and 4/5) and for the "7.5" the heading lists the time of (1:26 and 3/5).
1. "
About 7.5" (1:28 and 4/5)
2. "
7.5" (1:26 and 3/5).
So the "About 7.5" is longer, but from what I hear you are saying is that both distances at EXACTLY 7.5f verified thru Trakkus? I see what you are saying now...there is no reason why both cannot be timed from the 7.5 distance and make the time for both (1:26 and 3/5). But you are saying the About is excessively longer though claiming to be only 2.125 seconds longer
