Dear jfc,

Can I ask what it was you measured with your tape? Was it the markings on the rails near the finish line, or a horse, or a photo of the finish like those in your links above?

The humans allocating the results use the rail markings as a guide I'm sure, but as La Mer correctly points out, they don't always get it right


I've got my head stuck into the "Rules of Racing Manual", I'll let you know what I find.


Kind Regards
