5lbs at 5 furlongs equals one length.

So, RA got almost a 2 length break in weights on that scale.

It's one length per path of ground wide on the turn.

So .. if two horses dead heat going 10fs .. but one carried 5lbs more and was 3 wide on both turn instead of 2 wide on both turns .. said horse would get a sheet figure four lengths faster.
