This is an interesting thread, I always assumed the final 1/16th is where the difference lied, but considering the timing poles being where they are, it probably is the first quarter coming up a tad faster than it really is. |
In this case Santa Anita now uses Trakus as the official timer so the poles don't really mean anything, just a visual. The fractions should all be for the exact distance. Should be easy to figure out from the charts and how many feet they record for each segment.
