Ok, using the 8.5 feet for a length yields approx 19.5 lengths. Does the Beyer figure system still use the charts which assign lengths and points behind according to distance? I've seen 9 furlong dirt races come home with a 14 second final quarter, and I've seen them come home in 12 seconds. Using just a chart based on distance does not give an accurate representation of lengths behind.
