I had some tables [ somewhere ] that had corrected +/- times based on a city track as the standard and allowed for good,dead, slow and heavy condt.. Looked for them but can't find them. I had some success useing time/weight based on these tables but there are problems with rail movements [mainly] that can dramaticly effect times. Australia has a problem of too many tracks and they are often all over the show with hills and turns with varied tightness etc. I think those tables came from a very old edition of PPM. someone here may still have the copy concerned [ ? ].

The best indication of race condition is the weight of the horse. The punter can then plot the form from approaching peak fitness to decline going on weight from last prep. England weighs horses but not here which is a pity.

Cheers.
