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.

If you eliminate approx the first 12 starts of a dog, this is about the time it is maturing, for the remaining runs find its median weight and the better performances will fall to the lighter side (time adjusted by box position) of this weight |
