Lexus Chase

[Slowhand]

Its physically impossible to be further than the distance measured on Google maps Steve. The start point can be located easily within about a 10ft/20ft area and once you have that it is easy to measure.

What is more likely to be correct? The distance, or what looks like a generically generated standard time with no basis on actual race times used. I know where my money would go.

The use of Google maps will always answer the question of false distances.

I think I have solved the problem I had regarding the times of the

chase

distances at

Leopardstown

, The

Racing Post

standard times are a minimum of

25 secs

out.

For example the RP standard time for

2m5f

chase is

5m 0.0s

, working back through the past results to 2010, I made it

5m 25.0s

.

This is not far off the

32.0s

(2f) I was looking for

Any chance that The Racing Post might actually realise and/or care that their figures are bollocks?

Thanks for the good crack. Time for me to move on. Be lucky.

I am in regular contact with Dave Edwards, and sent him an email regarding the

2m5f

chase standard time error.

I have since done the

3m

chase standard time, and found that to be

28.0s

out.

If the

Racing Post

would give me access to their database, like my French contact did, I will produce and edit the standard times, I will do it for free.

Mike.
