From the article where it compared two races from from Parx that one race was about a second faster than the other, but were equal when timed from the gate with no run up.
Sure the time looked slow at about 1:14, but at least it was more accurate and could be compared to other tracks without using run ups.
From my par books I have Parx 6f $10k at 111.3 and Churchill at 1:10.4. Would they still be 4 ticks different with out run ups? And if not, wouldn't the 2, or 4 or 10 tick differences be more accurate?
Isn't this the simplest solution to time irregularities?
