Once that is complete, and you have your table Of Grade Par figures all grades, you can then set out to handicap each race, of course spreadsheets help, select a past performnace line, lookup the Grade Par table then make an adjustment for margin beaten.
Thats about it...the only other adjustments you would need to do is Box position adjsutment for form coming in and for form going out (make adjsutment for todays race ) Now your ready to get serious in creating a set of probabilities.
The biggest mistakes one can make in greyhounds is to use averages for things like "calls" etc, as this is Ordinal data, and should be acted upon as such.
