    You're right Dan. Doesn't matter which track. The amount of ground is the same per lap per sulky width. But we are getting 8.5 metres per lap (4.25 per turn). What are we doing wrong?

    Using Gloucester Park as example. Says radius of turns 82m's. Translates to circumference 515.2m. Assume width of sulky + distance between 1.35m. So do calc again based on radius 83.35 (82 + 1.35) gives me circumference 523.7m. So 8.5m further for 1 lap. Do again based on radius 84.7 (82 + 1.35 + 1.35) = 532.2m. Again + 8.5m for 1 lap.

    Thanks again for your help
    Cheers
    G'day Paul,
    your not doing anything wrong!
    your maths are good, it was mine that were flawed, I was only adding gig width to diameter not radius, hence my figures approx half yours. My excuse is it is many years since I was Lukes age and did these calcs myself....AND in those days I was using feet not metres, so old figures in head didn't kick in. ( My forte' is excuses)

    Cheers,

    Dan

    Thought this horse Yucatchim, in the Boort Cup yesterday, deserved special mention for a pretty quick 2nd qtr of the first mile if you believe the article...

    I backed the 2nd horse Amadmancomesundone who, although brave, on times had no chance.

    Amadmancomesundone got some justice last night winning the Ararat Cup after getting a beautiful trail behind the leader and sprint laning. He was as stiff as buggery the week before doing all the bullocking work and getting nabbed in the final stages at Boort. Love to see consistent horses get their rewards.
