While the race distance is a known fact, how does one find out just how long the run-up is for any given race?
I would think that could/would play a big factor in many race finishes that ended in a photo or close call.

It is usually given in the DRF on with the Racetrack details.
Or it can be found on a horse’s chart.
On this chart of the Pegasus World cup you will see it on the 3rd line below Fractional Times. Run up 60 feet.

Seem to remember this topic came up in a thread or part of a thread not long ago? Either I or Sammy or someone linked to the same article and some others. Always like Andy Byer
thanks. Nothing came up in a search on here for a similar thread.
