That monkey is getting fat, try to watch his diet but seems to no avail. At my age winning is more important. Your welcome Bill, glad to be of help.

As far as the SR verses the % workouts. SR workouts are more an indication of soundness and maintenance works, rather than a horse's improvement in form but they can be an improvement in form also.

Their based on a horse working in 12.2 second per furlong or roughly that as they use a parrel time chart. Ray Taulbot the originator of this used 12 second per furlong, Sartin refined it and improved it with his chart deceleration studies etc. That may be good for a marathon race say 1 1/4 and longer but not so much for sprints. With that standard an 80 SR workout is achievable by numerous horses or class of horses. Just not impressive but sort of common. Some of these are questionable as to whether they're really a workout, say 70's. Think about this, a horse ranks 30th of 100 horses' (beat 70horses) that workout 30/100 it receives a 70%, or a horse works and he runs 4F work in around 51 sec.? I doubt many were even using any data on workouts to judge the condition factor. It's a huge one that shouldn't be ignored.
