Blue grass telecast question

[31lengths]

ESPN showed a statistic that measured the actual distance that a horse ran in a race. What was the name of it? Anyone know this?

Thanks in advance.

they have a digital "thing" in the horses saddlecloths that uploads actual feet run farther or shorter than the winner....for instance

Horse A wins and runs 1500 feet
Horse B is second -21 feet
Horse C third....+30 feet

Trackus shows race distance winner ran (1500 feet) and Horse B ran 21 feet less than the winner (rail trip maybe??) and Horse C ran 30 feet further (swung out wide in the 5 path down the backside...) and so on...
