Using Race Times
8 years 11 months ago
Does anybody use Race Times to study form, I find that the times over the sprints down the straight are more accurate than lets say 2000 meters

Re: Using Race Times

horses in 1000 meter sprints go from the start (if i could put it that way) so you can compare with other 1000 meter sprints races as they are run much like one anouther and then a race like the Daily News went at a walk pace compared to another 2000 meter race where there was a good pace... Hence for me IMO i don't use times over the 2000 meters to study form but will use times over the 1000 meters and 1200 meters to get more of a view when analyzing a race over the sprints
Interesting the Daily News 2000 ran at a very slow pace 125.07s
The Woolhavington 2000 clocked 125.39s
Now what do you make of whose times?

Even with a slow pace Its my Turn could finish in front of Bela Bela
I tend to look at the whole picture, average times on the day and importantly 400m to finish time in a race with good pace. Guess work without sectional timing though.

IC, I agree that the shorter the distance the more you can use it. The great Syd Laird(before sectional timing) said a number of times to me" My boy, the only people who should worry about time are the people in jail" :lol:
