WORKING OUT THE TIME OF A BEATEN GREYHOUND
First of all a couple of standard figures to keep in mind.
In Greyhound Racing a Margin of 1 Length is 0.066 seconds
or if you like a Greyhound travels 1 length in 0.066 sec.
Taking this figure lets work out the time of a greyhound that was unplaced.
The Dog was beaten 4.5 lengths in a time of 30.32 sec.
We now multiply the Beaten Lengths by 0.066 sec.
and add it to the time of the Winner.
BEATEN GREYHOUNDS TIME = 30.32 + (4.5 * 0.066)
= 30.32 + 0.297
= 30.617
Rounded = 30.62 seconds.
Now we can take the times of Greyhounds in a race,
take their key runs over a specific distance and
compare their times directly with each other.
We will see who has run the fastest time.
