Title: Springboard Mile Figures
Post by: BitPlayer on January 26, 2019, 06:13:54 AM
I just looked at the sheets for the Smarty Jones in the Redboard Room and saw what had been done with the figs for the Springboard Mile.  It was very different from where I thought you would end up.  Part of the difference is due to ground loss.  Your computer-generated ground loss for the top two finishers is a little more generous that I came up with watching the video. You also, however, made the race a lot faster than I would have guessed.  You appear to have given a much higher than normal percentage of new tops, some of them quite large.  That seems unlikely to me, given how roughly run the race was.  You also have the race faster than Beyer.

We reviewed it, and adjusted the ground, and made it slower.
