You are really in the wrong sport. Try poker or lacrosse.

This is why accurate data has to be a top priority.

I'll generate the TRAKUS chart at some point.

EDIT: actually, this is because the TRAKUS DATA (and splits) is for 2F, 4F, 6F, 8F, and finish
while, the traditional chart (position and lengths) for this distance would be: 2F, 4F, 6F, STRETCH, and finish
I appreciate everyone's hard work on whatever their system, but this is why watching a race for yourself is the best measure there is, IMO.
