Don't feel bad not many do understand this and the only way to understand it is to do much of it by hand than it becomes cleared as the BL are not the same with slower times for the same distance.


As long as a uniform measurement is used and all horses are treated the same it all works out.


Sartin sort of honed this by distance I.e. 1 foot per F so 2 F would be 4 foot and 4 F would be 8 foot etc. Most of our racing distances tend to use the same measurements such as the 2nd call in sprints etc. (4F) Where the difference's really occur is in the 3rd Fr's as they vary with every distance pretty much.


The RDSS handles all this stuff and one does not need to really know any of it. Its a matter of just driving the car without having to be a mechanic. Try to grasp concept rather than every nut and bolt, the ride will be much smoother. Concept can be shock absorbers for a bumpy and rough ride.


See you along the road,
