I prefer to do more of a fractional analysis (esp the 3fr) and therefore adjust lengths gained or lost during certain segments of the race (1/4m, 3/16m).

Conversely, I use final times and traditional pace-n-speed figs for turf sprints under 6f.
Now, what to do with those 6f and 7f turf races at Bel is a thing that has eluded me for years. I tend to treat the 6f races as sprints and the 7f ones as routes, but I will admit that my numbers at these two specific distances need some tweaking, to say the least.
CJ - how do you treat 7f turf races?
