Asked Mary if the hand-time the first 1/16h on the hill, jere is what she said:
"the timer begins at the 6-1/2 furlong pole. The timer actually only times from the first pole for any race, but every race has a bit of a “run-up” distance that is not timed. It’s just a little shorter of a “run-up” for the downhill turf course race."
