For some time, I (and others) have been testing various combinations of velocity plus horse+jockey weight at HK. So far, I have not found anything more impactful than the simple velocity calculations (plus various compoundings) - i.e. absent weight - from classical and modern Sartin methods.

However - would you kindly expand on that formula you gave - expand it into English (1/2MVsq)? Do you mean 1 over 2 times total weight (horse+jockey = M) times Velocity squared? Or do you care to add a few more order of precedence parenthesis operators for clarity.

Thanks,

Ted
