Hi Chef
Mitch is correct. The tables/charts I made are exact copies of the ones in the original hardbound edition of Pace Makes The Race
Pages 38.39,40 and 41
I agree with Mitch. If you are seeing different numbers printed It's probably because somebody decided the numbers for 7- furlongs should be adjusted,
If somebody then changes them by hand, I would think that person played
at a track where there was some kind of anomaly at the 7-furlong distance.
Anyway, Its easy to check, what is going on at your track, Just record the
3rd fraction of a bunch of 7-furlong races with a 0 or close DTV
(in RDSS) and establish a norm, then do the same thing with another distance like 6 furlongs, and use the chart as a parallel time chart
In the chart above a 35 3rd fraction at 7 furlongs is equal a 22-second 3rd fraction at 6 furlongs 22 is really a fast third fraction so I can not imagine what horses are running 34.5 3rd fractions at 7 furlongs
On Saturday Parx ran 2 100,000 stakes races at 7 furlongs Race 7 and Race 8
I don't know the DTV but The winner of race 7 ran a 37.20 3rd fraction
The winner of race 8 ran a 37 3rd fraction
a 34.5 3rd fraction seems mighty fast to me
Good Skill
