My opinion is the physical length of the horse is irrelevant
when trying to do this<br>
The margins these days are a function of time as you know,
so that knowing the actual length of a horse is irrelevant
in my opinion.<br>
WA will use .16 seconds per lengths(6.25LPS) regardless of
going, distance, speed,......................<br>
SA(from long ago) will use who knows what, but I figured
(from memory) it was anywhere between .15 and .17 seconds
per length and no pattern could I find, to determine why
they used which.<br>
Did not know racing.com gave times, but just checked r8
yesterday and it appeared to be circa 5.7LPS(.175SPL).<br>
<br>
Thus length margins are a pain in the arse, because they
mean different things depending on where.<br>
I spent weeks, years back studying this, looking for a
pattern, so that I could transpose lengths back to times
everywhere, but it was not to be<br>
All because those geniuses at the data repository, had empty
fields for the individual times(yes they had a field but it
was unpopulated, or so I was told by the guy responsible!!)<br>
<br>
Roughly....the shorter the distance then the more metres to
a length.<br>
From WA data only where it is .16spl<br>
1000M a length is about 2.64 metres when related to times<br>
2400 its about 2.44m<br>
the bigger the margin, then the smaller the length per metre
value, except for the small margins <.5 where the errors
are necessarily larger.<br>
<br>
And all because they won't give accurate times, from which
they derive the inaccurate margins.<br>
They seem to think inaccurate margins is all the long
suffering punters deserve!<br>

<pre>Hi Tony,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>There are sites which list the times for all horses in a race, racing.com, rwwa etc.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>So you can actually work out if a horse is beaten a length, the time per length including sectionals.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>I know you accept that 2.75 metres is the average and industry standard, but the error margin is great when you break it down into age and size.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>We're looking at seconds, so it's critical that the horse's length is accurate.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>In other words you could use your calculations to get raw figures and then compare them with the times at those sites to see the accuracy.<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Maybe you've already done that though ;)<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>Not criticising your methods, just trying to open the discussion up a bit.<o:p></o:p></pre>
