Longchamp Standard Times

[TheBluesBrother]

I thought I would do some maintainance on my standard times list and when I came to check out <b>Longchamp</b> I realised that they have been playing around with the 1m1f & 1m2f distances.

I had not noticed that they had run the 1m1f distance 9 times at <b>1m1f55y</b> in the past 2 years.

14-Jul-11 07:30 Primera Vista 1m1f
02-Jul-11 12:30 Fadela Style 1m1f
02-Jul-11 01:30 Ziyarid 1m1f
22-May-11 02:45 Goldikova 1m1f
30-Apr-11 03:15 Epic Love 1m1f
14-Jul-10 08:00 Outer Continent 1m1f
03-Jul-10 01:35 Emerald Commander 1m1f
03-Jul-10 01:05 Biased 1m1f
02-May-10 01:35 Zagora 1m1f

If I thought that adding 55 yards to the 1m1f distance was bad enough, I then looked at the 1m2f distance things got worse.

They had run 1m2f distance at <b>1m1f165y</b> 7 times.

07-Jun-11 02:55 Regency Romance 1m2f
15-May-11 04:35 Valiyr 1m2f
11-May-11 01:20 Peinture Abstraite 1m2f
02-Oct-10 03:50 Cirrus Des Aigles 1m2f
12-Sep-10 02:08 Katsya 1m2f
14-Jun-10 03:10 Meer Royal 1m2f
15-Apr-10 03:10 Live The Moment 1m2f

Now all I have to do is to update my ratings <!– s:shock: –><!– s:shock: –> <!– s:shock: –><!– s:shock: –>

There are 46 starts at Longchamp over 4 full courses and a short straight course. You have 17 listed on the spreadsheet. There are no "furlong" distances, everything uses a metric metre basis. 2000m = 9.94 furlongs.

If you check on the Racing Post Website they only record distances in old money(lengths,furlongs and miles) not metric.

In the past 2 seasons they have only run 18 different distances

You cannot rely on RP as they do not know from the results which one of the 4 courses are being used for any particular race. There are only distances in exact multiples of 50m, but many distances are exactly repeated on the other courses, presumably to save wear and tear. So the "9f" is exactly 1850m and always is 1850m from that particular course’s start position.
