Mo, a few questions.

In the formguide for dogs, when you see the time & early split for each dog's previous runs, are they the actual time that dog ran, or is it the winners time & you have to adjust for beaten margins? I assume the latter, I also assume the lead split time is the leaders only.

What about weight. Is the weight of a dog significant? Are variations in weight from last start worth considering? I sense this is my next little project.
