Title: BC Classic Fractions
Post by: Longchamps1970 on November 10, 2020, 12:53:21 AM

Can you provide the fractions for the BC Classic as timed by Thoro-Graph.
Ironic since, Longines was a major sponsor.
Who is responsible for timing of races at Keeneland.
Did Keeneland provide fractions for the race, which were hand timed.

We don’t do fractions. That race is a stand alone regardless, only dirt route for hours, and a tricked up layout that starts on the turn (with a big runup difference from the Dirt Mile). The good news is there is no shortage of data to work with, with the Classic horses.

Really curious about your take on the inside of the turf course.

Very hard to tell what the run up is (off the screen)  , but I got a fairly fast gate to wire time off the vid (assuming we can trust the capture)  . So if that was fast then wouldn\'t the race also have to be fast.
