00:00Do we have a specific horse we're going to take a look at here?
00:05Yeah, a good example is Governor Sam in the, is that one we can look at now?
00:09Yeah, sure.
00:10Let's take a look.
00:11And we're really excited to work with DRF to see them kind of display this information,
00:15which really comes from 200 updates per second of sort of GPS and accelerometer data, and
00:19you can distill it into effectively a really cool sort of breakdown of the horse.
00:24Now, what we can see from Governor Sam here is how hellishly quick this horse is out of
00:28the gate.
00:29He can get to 30 miles an hour in 3.4 seconds.
00:33So that is a very, very fast, typical American, super quick horse out of the gate.
00:38His top speed, as you'd imagine, is extremely high there.
00:40So he is the fastest compared to the horses today in terms of time out of the gate, predicted
00:45time out of the gate, and top speed.
00:47Now, his average speed, as you would expect, can't quite sustain the 45.6 miles an hour
00:53that he did in his last run.
00:55And then you notice, going into slightly more biometric metrics, that he has quite a long
01:00stride and not so many strides per second, and that would be a concern at Delmar with
01:05its kind of swinging off the tight bend, quite a short straight, is it a furlong on the turf?
01:09It's not long to kind of lengthen.
01:11So for me, that's a negative.
01:12For Delmar horses over sprints, you'll kind of want to see a stride frequency more in
01:17the 2.4, 2.45 range.
01:19So here's a horse that's going to burst out of the gate, but arguably get found out because
01:23he can't quite quicken off that final bend.
