Then go back to BL/BL. I did that a dozen times or so and it humbled me.

To be fair, also go back on the races you won. I suspect that you will find like I did when I tried a hard and fast rule using earnings per start that I did indeed improve my winning percentage, but reduced my ROI considerably. Horses with poor rankings on earnings per start win races every day, just like horses with poor jockeys and poor trainers.
I think some sort of APV/Class figure can be a very valuable corrallary, much more so than earnings per start by itself, but trying to apply a simple rule to its use will throw out many good priced winners, like the one at Lone Star that started this thread.
