No expert here on commercial pace ratings, but thought someone could explain Bris pace ratings to me. Before you give me a link I've read how they supposedly develop the numbers.
Case in Point, Delaware Race 1(today) 7/19-5f Dirt.
Magnificentmindset ran 22.3-47.3-1:01.0-1:08.2(1/5's) LR at 5.5f -E2=80
Theresa's Honor ran 22.4-47.4-1:00.3-1:07.1 LR at 5.5f - E2 = 82
The above was in the same race.
set the first fraction and was 1 hd behind at 2nd call, so her times using 1L = 1/5 sec are basically the same as the leader.
was one beaten length behind at both 1st and 2nd calls. So using 1L = 1/5 sec. the
still arrived at the 2nd call slower than
Her TT would be an identical 25.0 as the
although she arrived there in a slower time.
I was questioning how they gave
an 82 pace rating vs.
's 80 rating? While this is only a 2 pt. difference, I've seen some that are real head scratchers. In another program of my own, I do equate 1 hd to .2 length, but rarely use it.
