Don't get too excited. It's just dual, furlongs, stones, and pounds will continue too. http://www.racingpost.com/news/horse-racing/sandown-rfc-metric-distances-and-weights-to-be-trialled-from-today/1078366/#newsArchiveTabs=last7DaysNews Showing the jockey's weight in kilograms in the program doesn't seem like a big deal. For marking the track, a photo in the article makes clear that they will just approximate the furlong as 200 m and ignore the 1.168 m/furlong discrepancy. As a result, I assume the metric markers are NOT accurate enough for timing and comparing to the horse's performance on a real, metric track.
