I made my own speed figures for Woodbine one year and after adjustments for the daily track variant, I made a further adjustment using the Trakus data. It wasn't unusual to have the second or third place horse run a better number than the winner because of the distance "delta." I thought they were good figures but it was a lot of work and I still had a job at the time. Eventually, I gave it up and began using RDSS.
Frankly, I'm surprised that Trakus hasn't partnered with TrackMaster, DRF, TimeForm, HDW, etc. to produce figures. (Or maybe they have and I just don't know about it.)
If I were doing it now, I would take the RDSS Adjusted Speed Ratings and modify those by the Trakus data. RDSS uses 8.33 feet per length and one point equals one length, just like the TPR figures. I was making mine from scratch using the Beyer scale and that was almost a full-time job.
