One idea is to divide the career prizemoney by the number of career starts, which gives the API, then multiply this by the place strike rate. This means that if the horse won three good races in a row as a 2 year old, but has very average form recently, this equation drags down the API to a more reasonable level. Not perfect, but it's an idea.
