Let's do one:
DWC DAY
Race 2 2000m on the dirt. Distance covered by the winner: 2035 meters
Rac 9 DWC 2000m on the dirt. Distance covered by the winner: 2039 meters.
DELTA race 1 to race 9:
Let's do the math:
2035 - 2039 = - 4 meters
Make sense?
p.s. in a thread where the point being advanced by the majority is that Arrogate not only was compromised by the bad start but had an extremely wide trip, one would think that a comparison of his total distance covered to that of the others in the race, in other worlds DELTA for the race in question, would be the way to advance the argument.

I know exactly what the delta is, sorry you felt you had to type 2000 words to explain it without bothering to try figuring out what I meant. Have a nice day.
