Was running a search this afternoon trying to find a site with average field sizes for North American tracks. Ran into this spreadsheet with much more!
Description from their blog:
(HANA, Charlottesville, Virginia) – The Horseplayers Association of North America (HANA) is proud to announce its second annual Proprietary Track Ratings have been released. This year, just like last, Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky finished in the top spot.
"No takeout on any wager higher than 19%, average field size of 9.38, and pool sizes that give the player every opportunity to make a big score. When we looked at the raw numbers, hands down, Keeneland was North America's highest rated track," said HANA President Jeff Platt. "We congratulate Keeneland on being tops in North America for the second year running."
“We were surprised to have won last year and thrilled to win again this year. I want to thank all the great people at Keeneland who make this possible,” said Keeneland President and CEO Nick Nicholson.
The HANA Track Ratings are based on an algorithm designed by HANA Board member Bill Weaver, a retired engineer of Houston, Texas. Using studies and empirical data which are directly correlated to horseplayer value and handle growth, namely takeout rate, field size, wager variety, pool size and signal distribution, a composite score is tabulated, and tracks are ranked from one to sixty nine.
