Despite the low resolution and poor quality of some of the Youtube videos, its still possible to estimate the finishing distances as they would be calculated today with an accuracy of about a quarter of a length. The above race comes out as:

[code]
[b]Pos Horse Age Weight Distance[/b]
1. Brigadier Gerard 3 9-0
2. Mill Reef 3 9-0 3.5
3. My Swallow 3 9-0 0.75
4. Minsky 3 9-0 5
5. Indian Ruler 3 9-0 15
6. Good Bond 3 9-0 1.5[/code]

Today, Brigadier Gerard would have been given an extra half length - more than a pound - in his Guineas.
