Trying to come up with a 1 to 10 rating figure on how each horse finished its race regardless of placing. This is just for a 1 to 10 rating on how the horse finished, so for example:


Example 1: 18 horses in field 800m 400m Place Margin
17 11 2 0.5
Example 2: 10 horses in field 800m 400m Place Margin
9 8 1 0

Example 3: 22 horses in field 800m 400m Place Margin
2 7 12 6.2
Example 4: 24 horses in field 800m 400m Place Margin
2 2 1 0
I am trying to come up with a formula which will rate each horses finishing so I can apply it to the rest of my program. To date, this is the only part of my program which is open to subjective input - something I am trying to eliminate.

Are there any mathematicians here who may come up witht he formula needed so i can apply it to my program?
