hi
for the distance, 1f = 201.168 mtrs
to see the distance for any race in meters, open the variables screen and type market_length
this will display the distance in meters
to add a condition for the distances you must use is between, because not all distances are 5f or 6f, they can be 5f 120yds etc.
so for 5f you would have the condition
and selections trigger expression market_length is between 1005.00 and 1190.00
this covers the 5f to just under 6f
