Speed figures and 'lengths'

Postby EdwinJohnFrank » Sun Mar 01, 2015 1:07 pm

Hi all.

I imagine Martin may be the best person to answer this query, but is there a way of converting speed figures, into literal 'lengths'. For example, if horse A's speed figure is 55, and horse B's speed figure is 60, then 'theoretically' (since they sometimes do and sometimes don't which is half the conundrum :)) they ran to those figures, how far would horse B beat horse A by? Additionally, does it differ depending on race distance, i.e. a 55 versus 60 over 5f, compared to a 55 versus 60 over 8f.

Thanks very much for any help :)
