I posted a logical construct based on the geometry of two racetracks which are different in size and if I interpreted your extrapolation correctly of my post, you are implying if what I have construed in my post is true, closers should win more races at Churchill Downs than closers would win at Belmont.
You very well could be correct, but you will need more evidence than conjecture and my post wasn’t intended to provide a bona fide fact, but an inference based on math and science; and not validation from collected data.
However, I have attached scaled layouts to this post of both Churchill Downs and Belmont as a visual reference for you to see that the run to the turn for 6F (absent run-up) at Churchill Downs is 1,433.5 feet whereas at Belmont without run-up it is 843 feet which is nearly a furlong shorter; this was the essence of my argument.
I would appreciate your comments.
