With this being an international website with horses from all over, we thought we would add a little explanation. Things are done a bit differently in Europe and the US. In the USA and Australia/NZ the harness horses are timed in mile rates (the exact time it takes to trot a mile) and the horses’ lifetime marks are win times. There is also a letter in the end which will indicate what size track the pesonal best is from. In Europe it is shown as an average kilometer/hr (KR), the recorded time can be as a winner or as beaten (if known, win times are marked with an *.). The majority of tracks in Europe are 1000m tracks and 800m tracks (half mile), but a few, mainly in France, they are longer (Vincennes, Enghien etc.) and Europe also races their horses over a variety of distances. From supersprints to marathons.
