[Sightseek]

Equibase changed the official margins for the Mile & Distaff:

That is a fairly significant difference.

That was my reaction, too, Sightseek. I was surprised that they would have such a big error in the margin for such important races.

what about arazi winning the bc juvie way back when?

that's the longest 5 length win i've ever seen.

Why does this matter?? Unless the order of finish changes, this seems to be pretty moot. I can't imagine Round Pond's broodmare value increasing now that her margin of victory is increased.

I could be wrong, but wouldn't it affect the past performance lines as far as Beyers and fractional times go?

It would affect the Beyer figures slightly.

There are MANY uncorrected mistakes in the past performance lines of horses.

Thanks.
How do you usually spot them, from checking the charts or is that where the mistake originates? Or is it something you're more apt to pick up in watching the replay?

everyone behind those two horses, but just minimally. Their times are correct (miesque's approval and round pond).
