I just don't feel the need any more (well, since 20+ years) to do the heavy lifting of creating and maintaining my own speed ratings.

I also don't grow my own food - LoL, preferring to pay others who specialize in that activity I prefer to spend my time in horse racing using good ratings purchased from specialists, leaving me maximum time to concentrate on identifying true contenders and true pretenders which might be over-rated by the crowds (aka the hard work in handicapping), watching the tote board and formulating bets when worth-while.

Not that you should not work on your own Speed Ratings, by any means! Good luck with them

No worries Ted I was just hoping either you or someone here can help me with my question

You helped with the vote of confidence I just need someone now to help me figure out if the formulas I am using are useful or not?
