You are right about doing the races - then it will all come together ... but I wanted to follow and learn from you other readouts... Your definitions are extremely helpful ... I feel hurt that SP was changed.... that is one of my primary readouts...

Ok - I have my own Profile maker - which I cannot let you have ... (I will tell you privately why) But I can take what I have and make an excel spreadsheet out of it that will help you model (or anyone else) certain readouts.

Give me some guidelines:

Here's what I suggest and can do...

Have a separate sheet for each TRK/DIST/Surface (if you prefer you can separate classes - just let me know).

I can give you an overall average or median of a particular factor.
average : if you have 1,1,1,4,5 = 12/5 = 2.4
median : midpoint of a group of numbers. 1,1,1,4,5 = 1
or both if you like

I can also have a column next to each factor that gives you a median or average of last 3,5,7,9 races - whatever you tell me. [This in addition to a row at the bottom that gives you an overall average/median - mentioned above]

You can also instead of ranking, you could use difference from the best which I prefer, but takes longer (a little). Median or average.

btw - I like median since a stray 5 or 2 stray 5's dont affect a median as much as in the average.

you can also have an odds column where you can see where your higher odds horses fall.

We can work this in stages if you like. And it won't hurt my feelings if you'd rather not use it, although I will try to make it as user friendly as I can.
