Official Finish Position

0 votes
I've always used the amended finish positions for all my modelling but my friend, who uses a totally different data provider has always used the actual finish positions and ignored any adjustments.

I can see an argument for it either way, just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this?

As you point out, both are possible.

Personally I always use actual.  The reason being if you are modelling finish position you want to know how the horse performed - if you model amended position you are modelling how the stewards behaved!

True, I am going to have a look today to see what difference it makes.
