I know many on this Forum use sophisticated pace figures. Santa Anita is one of the Tracks that has many different run up distances. Many Tracks I ask won't even give them out and some don't really know.
The differences between 7f and 61/2 on dirt are big and the mile vs. mile and one sixteenth are big..
6 1/2 Furlongs 78 feet and 7 Furlongs 28 feet
1 Mile 172 feet and 1 1/16 Miles 70 feet
My questions are:
Do most Horseplayers that use pace figures know these run up distances?
And are these run ups caluculated into your programs (especially when the rails are out on the turf course)?
