Value Beaten Length - Pace and Cap

Houndog · 02-15-2007, 08:09 PM

Ted, would the value of a beaten length differ from Validator, Spec160, and RDSS according to the fraction and distance of the race. I know the rule of thumb is 10 feet per length. I was reading a manual that Doc gave out at Handicapping Expo 90 and I think he was suggesting that he was using different values for a beaten length.

For example if I read Doc's example for a 6 furlong race correctly he was suggesting something like a 5.5 feet value for the first fraction; 10 feet for the second fraction; and 5.5 feet for the final fraction. I think Doc may have started doing this with his more advanced programs starting with Energy.
