Title: Ground loss question for TGJB
Post by: JJP on July 13, 2004, 12:30:07 PM

Do you figure ground loss for mile and mile and a sixteenth races on Belmont\'s turf like regular 2 turn races?  Or is it figured more like 1.25 or 1.5 turn races?  I would have to think going 3 or 4 wide on that partial turn wouldn\'t be as significant as going that wide on the far turn.

Correct. We use less of a correction on the partial turns.
