Adds to Pete's questions:

Many times there are horses whose best times are from mile races. To me it seems like, since its a marathon, that it would advantage those horses too much, especially where the mile times are one turn. Did the Hat give any guidance on the use of mile times from mile races? Did he prefer the mile time to be extracted from longer races or just to use the mile time from 9F and longer races if available?

Thanks,

Bill
