Kennedy,

I'm interested in knowing if you have ever looked at the mathematical correlation between the average m/s of each dog in a race, compared with their final finishing positions. Have you calculated an average of this number over a significant number of races.

I use the Pearson correlation function in OpenOffice spreadsheet, to get correlations between various form factors and the final finishing position down to last place. My better factors average around 0.28. Would love to know if you're getting significantly better than this.

Amanda.
