Trackmaster Class Ratings - Pace and Cap

socantra · 06-24-2007, 07:12 PM

Ted,

I would appreciate it if you could put the Trackmaster Class Ratings somewhere, possibly on the 'adjusted' screen, where you alreadt have the Traclk master speed rating and track variant. There seems to be room there.

I'm not at all sure about the validity of the figure, but it is a supposed projection for the competition in that particular race and that would be a good place to compare and see if there is any 'there' there.

I still hate the new scale and think that 70 breakpoint is artificial (to make the numbers come out right). It does terrible things to cheaper horses, but that may be a good thing for us. Those numbers are used in a lot of Equibase Track Programs. Looking at the race classes in the Summer Stakes Contest, I'm beginning to think they may actually have some use in higher end races.

Just a thought,

Dick

Dick,

Done, and done (somewhere). One of those things on the dregs list, only because I never understood what to do with them. If someone can make a study of some useful impact, which will get easier as database queries come into play, or just by tracking by hand (or export to Excel), perhaps they may be of some use (or not).

I've got a mini-update scheduled for mid-week (barring emergencies), so let me see if I can slug that in somewhere.
