Some days (weekends) the TV will be faster that during the week , not because the track got any faster , but because there are better horses running . At least thats what I think.

That should work. Doc Sartin was never a big fan of variants. He didn't use a variant at all in the early days of the methodology, for the simple reason that the variant did not appear in the western edition of the DRF until sometime after 1982.
My only concern would be that if you actually enter the number zero, instead of the number 17 that is expected for a neutral variant, that the program would take that as a very fast track and generate a big adjustment. Even if it did, I suppose it wouldn't affect the rankings since it would be applied equally to all lines.
Hmmmm......... Maybe that's the reason most horses run like Secretariat in Validator with the Trackmaster download.
