Gulfstream uses Trakus. They know exactly how long the race is. The solution is simple. Give us the time of the race for the nearest half furlong that is available, and give us an accurate distance for the rest of the race, i.e. run up. So easy a caveman could figure out.

Every other track and even Gulfstream for any distance but 7.5f give you this:

Official Distance
Time for that official distance
Run up distance, i.e. the rest

For this distance, Gulfstream is giving you this:

Official Distance (even "about" can be official)
Time for a DIFFERENT distance than the official distance (exactly 7.5f)
Inaccurate run up distance, i.e. the rest

Technically, if you use about, you can call the run up whatever you want. But then you have to time ALL of the rest and give it to us.
