horse finishing times

[spopanda]

Hi All

I have found a website (sporting life) that gives the time of the horse that finished 1st, but not the finishing times of the other horses.

How many seconds should I add on roughly speaking for a horse that finishes a length or say 3 lengths behind the winning horse time?

Generally 1L is considered do be 1/5th of a second (0.2 seconds) however obviously is a race is ran at a slower or faster pace then that will affect it. Seens your man for this.

The flat is different to the jumps Pete. Don't know what the exact figures are because it's all bollocks to me.

A horse finishing three lengths behind the winner whilst being driven and fighting for third place looks exactly the same on paper as a horse beaten by three lengths easing down on its own.

Aye Distance matters too, obviouslt a 5f race is faster than a 2mile race
