AngryPixie,
Those books are a good read in terms of interpretation and application of the figures, however, be aware that it is almost wholly geared toward US dirt track racing which does not translate well to Aussie Turf.
The racing patterns are quite different as are the times a horse can run on turf and dirt.
As an example there are a few pacing races run on grass here each year, the race times are nowhere near the times on crushed shell grit tracks.
