Arlington Park Round Table

[Houndog]

Working the 9th race at AP for Saturday in Syn4. First dilemma is that AP did not have pars for the 8.5 distance. Also noting that AP has switched to polytrack I wanted to use some pacelines for a couple of horses at AP that had good races at this distance.

My basis of comparison was Turfway park because these pars reflect the artificial surface. Comparing the AP lines and one of Dominican's Turfway Park race 3 lines back the times seem close. I plugged in the Turfway Park par for this distance for AP. Whether this works remains to be seen, but sometimes you have to work with what you have. I also worked the race 2 different ways. The first 3 screens will be working the race using the DRF variant.

The next 3 screens would be using the Beyer number for the adjustment. As you will see this does change things.
