Charles,
All lines for a horse are equalized to today's distance (and adjusted for DTV and ITV) on all screens other than Original, so for the 4th line, 8f distance, the internal fractions (i.e. the first 2 fractions and a bit) are extracted from the route and massaged a bit, and that is what gives the superior extracted sprint measurements for today's contest.
Does that clarification address your point? (Modern Sartin programs owe a lot to PMTR foundations...)
