answer these two questions an you know what i'm doing.
How long is a race?
When is the race over?

I think I have seen you pose that question before. Are you getting at that the winner runs 1200m im 70 sec, but the 2nd horse 1197m in the same time, etc?

I give the race a rating in points, and adjust for beaten margins. The rating is an average rating as I don't see the point of just looking at final time, so I also give the final 600m a rating as well.

I convert each race to a standard, and use 1200m as my standard. So if the race is 1600m, I divide the time by the 1600m Par then multiply by the 1200m Par.
