Kenny, i've been playing with a spreadsheet that converts the sportscolour sectionals into readable figures. i find the presented format hard to read.

I come up with a race average for the 600m, 400m and 200m. the race average is given a rating of 100 and all individual ratings are assessed from this base.

i'll post more later if you want. now i'm going to go over the previous months meetings and also apply a pace figure based on (final time minus last 600m). its now clear to me that the finishing speed must be reconcilled to early pace.

eg, did a horse produce a stunning sprint off a fast pace? or a slow pace? did a leader in a fast pace stick on well? etc
