I'm trying to calculate the final furlong time for Max Player in the Belmont Stakes on 6/20/20. Am I doing this right?
Last two fractional times for the (1-1/8 mile) race were 1:34.46 and 1:46.53
Using .2 seconds per length:
At the mile, #3 max Player was in 5th place.
The # 1 was in 4th place, 1/2 lengths ahead of the #3.
The #10 was in 3rd place, 1-1/2 lengths ahead of the #1.
The #9 was in 2nd place, 1/2 length ahead of the #10.
The #8 was 1st place, 4 lengths ahead of the #9.
So #3 was 6-1/2 lengths off the lead.
Using .2 seconds per length, #3 that's 1.3 seconds off the lead.
Adding 1.3 seconds to the race time of 1:34.46, the #3 ran the mile in 1:35.76.
Am I doing this correctly?
