Re: RE: Re: Re: The North American Gjest Challenge
This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] And translated to seconds and/or minutes the STRBRD trotter trots 1.48=108 seconds for the mile or theoretically 1.04 for the K. These are record numbers and it takes a horse time to reach speed so he could probably not do the first K as fast as 1.04, however I just wanted to point out that the STRBRD time is more than a full minute faster than the time Gjest trotted the K. As STRBRD are bigger and trained to race I am comparing apples to oranges or Fjords to Trotters or whatever. Trotters start the race at a trot not a standing start what about the Fjords in Norway ?As this would make a big difference. Again I just wanted to add prespective to the discussion. I know what our watch said at Waldingfield (however the path on the marathon may have had a downward slope and was clocked after a full trot start both of which would have a positive effect on our time I can't remember the terrain almost 2 years later as I had other things on my mind at the time)and since I in no way believe Marnix is the fastest trotter in NA I stand by my belief that Gjest's record can be beaten. This is the last I will add on this subject. If enough people take Carol and Arthur up on their challenge the numbers will speak for themselves. I look forward to news on the first race. Vivian

RE: Re: Re: The North American Gjest Challenge
This message is from: "Werner, Kristine" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> A mile is a greater distance than a kilometer. 1 Mile equals roughly 2 Kilometers. If the pacer trots the mile in 1.41, then he/she trots approximately 2 KM at that speed as well - the Standardbred needs about 1.48. At least that is how I understood it :o) Kristine in Frankfurt > -Original Message- > From: Mike May [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Donnerstag, 4.

So keeping Apples - Apples or km to km's then my calculator shows that the 1.41 for the MILE is really .846 for the km. And 1.48 = .888 for the km.
