That way everyone would speak Greek and not English.

dos mo-i pa sto ka-i tan gan ka-i-nato
and
andra mo-i enepe mo-i-sa polytropon os mala ...
It's all our fault.
No wonder America speaks English and Greek lost by one vote to become the official language of the constitution.
Anyway it appears you don't follow international racing or you would have known that in England they move the stalls all the time.
The steward says I don't like it here because it's windy or there is a mud poodle and they take them 30 meters down the stratch.
That way nobody knows what the exact ditance of the race was.
If intead of 1600 meters (=1 mile) they make it 1570 meters the difference is 1.5 second, so when you try to work out a future race from the past races you are in the doledrums and the British don't even use the method.
So given this annoying trend exists is there something that can be done ?

Why not put more emphasis on the latter part of the race and focus on middle and final fractions. Use the early part of the race to look for running style as well as early moves. However, that may be difficult because the overseas PP's are terrible, they give you ZERO info to really dissect a race.
