As a consequence, I introduced a race class factor based on total average prizemoney (won by each runner multiplied by the number of runners divided by the number of runners) into the method 18 months ago that has worked well. (The final average must be a certain amount for the race to qualify)

I very interesting stat. Do you mean that you add all the runners average prizemoney and then divide it by the number of runners,or have I misunderstood your above formula?
I am currently looking at the stats of a horses last 2 placing and where those placing were ie Saturday meeting versus midweek/provincial meetings and their placing ( 1st - 4th )
I have found some interesting results in the small sample that I have completed so far, but need to do more work on they to find how reliable they are
