Thanks for the info Tim. I have a question. How many tracks were involved in the study and were races broken down by specific distances or just sprint and route. The reason I ask is that I believe one must know the tracks they play by dist. For example at Parx on the dirt it is true that at most dirt dists early& pressers types win most races but at 170 presser& sustain horses are winning most races. I also believe one must know the minimum 3rd fraction a horse needs to have in order to win at a particular dist. In other words one must keep records before deciding what's winning at their track or tracks and where a horse must be to win.
