Traditional splits known to enthusiasts as seen on the semaphore board post-race. Approximate (to nearest 30cm) marks at each physical timing beam. These times may vary to what’s officially published on FastTrack due to two separate systems being used – one is behaving to a greyhound breaking the beam while the other is behaving to the Isolynx tracking unit placed between their back and neck.

Traditional first, back and run home splits at both metropolitan tracks.

Time taken to the 50m mark, 300m mark and the last 100m of the race.

Average distance to the rail for the entire race.

Time taken to reach the listed distance.

Time taken to complete each section.

Average speed for the entire race followed by speed at the point of each distance listed (not an average).

Indication of how that time or speed stacked up compared to the meeting average. Green reflects fast and red reflects slow. Note races over ‘600’ and ‘700’ metres are compared to ‘500’ metre races – naturally the ‘HOME’ and ‘LAST 100’ times will typically be slower for the longer distance races. Colour indicators for columns ‘600M’ and ‘500-600’ will be populated for ‘600’ and ‘700’ metre races.

Within the ‘Cumulative’ table, blue reflects the leader at that point of the race.

If a greyhound’s name is highlighted orange, it means we suspect issues within that greyhound’s data.

While in theory times to distances should be comparable at all venues, each track has its own intricacies in shape that may produce differences. Getting consistency across each track is a priority but remains a work in progress.

Runners who fall or fail to finish won’t be included in data.

Keep up to date with the ‘Known Quirks’ information below for current issues and discrepancies.

• · The traditional first split at The Meadows (525m) is producing a time around 0.03 second faster than it should – this will be fixed in the near future.
• · Jump/20m times are inconsistent across the tracks (Averages – SAN around 2.26, MEA around 2.20 and TRA around 1.96) – this will be worked on.
• · Jump/20m times from ‘600’ metre boxes at Sandown Park and The Meadows are slightly faster than those over ‘500’ metres – this is being investigated.
• · Systems at all three tracks were serviced Feb 8-9. Data at The Meadows remains good, Traralgon has seen improvement and Sandown Park is being worked on.
