.16 sec/length translates roughly to a 12 2/5 second final 1/8 of a mile. If all races finished at that speed, that would work just fine. However, a slower horse is going to take a longer amount of time to cover a length than a faster one and I think determining the distance of one horse behind another when only given the time interval is very dependent upon the final speeds of both horses in question.
