Hey Mitch,
I am still not sure why you feel the need to censor data that helps others. Are you in the main stream media by any chance? I don't doubt your heart is in the right place, but your idea that giving people updated tools, like vectors over the older %med, is somehow hurtful is not very easy to understand. Is this one of those change is bad things? Or not invented here things?
Literally, no data or screens will be lost by adding these 3 numbers.
Ted has created something we have never had before, the export feature. When I play a new track, I handicap 20 days or so, then export those 20 days worth of races. In Excel, using Ted's spreadsheet template, I pull the winners out of each race and copy them over to the Win sheet. There I sort them by surface and distance which gives me a record of the last 20 days of races at that new track for each type of race they run. Then section by section, I look and see what wins at that track on that surface at that distance. It ain't rocket science. Some smaller tracks APV and CR are actually useful. At Saratoga, on the turf at 8.5f, LPR and 3F were great, but on the 8f inner turf, epr was better. The more things you can look at, the better you can understand that track on that surface at that distance. Why would you want a worse understanding? That makes no sense. If you look at your spreadsheet and see a positive correlation with a corollary, use it, if not, don't use it. No one is trying to force you use something you don't want.
Off topic, but kind of amusing, to me at least. As an intel guy, I actually taught counter intelligence at one point and the absolute easiest way to spot soldiers was their conformity. Ever since Napoleon, soldiers step off on their left foot. Super tell. Super easy to spot.
