Whoa, yeah it looks like the enterprising individual could use google earth pro to calculate at least the distances of the entire track. Not sure how you could get the various points of call though

Interestingly, the distance from the finish line to the first turn is nearly always omitted by the ARM, especially in recent editions.

I would strongly recommend making a visit to your local library to find out exactly what information is contained in each edition before going on Amazon or ebay to buy it.

Cratos can I ask if you know how banked the turn for home at Oaklawn is? It looks pretty flat to me watching on tv never been there. I think horses closing on the outside turning for home lose ground that in general they don't make-up. imho. Thanks if you know.
