Different types of races are there with flat races, steeplechase, hurdle, maiden and class races. Several ratings based on handicap races are also held. In practical horse racing, there are various winning margins used. Winning margins in Australia vary from a dead heat to length or more. Sometimes decimal equivalent is used which are more easy to understand and find margins. Here is a quick guide for winning margins with specific terminology.
Dead Heat
It is a professional term when judges can't split two or more horse races winning margins as horses finish the race at an exact time.
Nose
It is the smallest margin by which a horse can win a race. A nose or a short half head is termed as a winning margin by a nose.
Head
As the name suggests it is winning margin by the length of the horse's head.
Neck
After Nose and Head, Neck is the winning margin that amounts to one-quarter of the length. This range is from 0.05 to o.25L in general while for long neck the range can be as high as 0.25 to 0.50 in full.
Length
For races, the length is equal to the distance from a horse nose to tail and often written in the form guide as 'len'. For instance 2L, 3L or 4l.
For longer winner margins
In case the margins between the horses are more than one length then they are written as 1 1/2 len, 2 1/3 len, 3 2/3 len and similarly the decimal equivalent would then be 1.5L, 2.33L, and 3.66L
Horse Margins, Weight and Time
This winning margin of one length is taken equal to 1.5Kg in weight. So in case, a horse wins by 2 lengths than by logic he won it with 3kgs in weight. Thus when the horse takes 2Kgs in weight for the upcoming race then he has 1kg extra still over others. Horse ratings are measured in a similar proportion as well. These are helpful in rating horses for instance if the horse is beaten 3 lens in a race that will change the rating from 80 to 75.5(1.5x3).
