I'm refering to my method for gallops, sorry. By outlier, I'm talking about a run that does not look representative. In gallops this can be their best speed rating as well as their worst, BUT early pace has a huge impact on time in gallops, I assume its impact is negligible in the dogs, ie, thet jump & just try to run the distance at full speed?

If i consider a dog's certain run to be its fastest, and lets say its more than 1 std dv faster than its mean, is that unrepresentative data OR worth considering in a best case scenario sense?

hope that makes sense
