Might be a longshot but does anyone know of a site/resource that would make this easier:
I'm looking for runners that ran to pars. So for example if Churchill @ 6F has a par of 45.2 / 1:10.0, I'm just scrolling through Formulator PPs until I find a runner that has a running line close to that. It's quite tedious and time-consuming and perhaps someone knows where I could scroll through running lines much easier?
Quick Grid has a count of races at or above par minus 5. It is on the Speed Deep Dive grid. It is a comparison to BRIS pars, not raw times. Quick Grid uses BRIS data files (single file or Multicaps).
Yep, any running line at all for any horse that happened to run close to both 4F and Final par. I'm looking for discrepancies in different sites' figures.
2 random horses from 2 different tracks both running to that particular tracks' 4F/Final par (as well as similar TV) should yield similar figures. However, there seems to spots where they don't. I want to see if measuring this theoretical margin of error and adjusting for it yields an edge over other users of those particular figures. Possibly a lot of work for nothing but I have time so oh well...
Dave/Dustin, I believe Dave uses a rating he calculates for each race which is based on running lines for entrants. I don't recall the specific name for the rating. In short, the rating represents a PAR for each race based on entrants instead of race conditions. For example, we've all seen $10,000 claiming races that appear much weaker or stronger than an 'average' race.
This rating may be an alternative to PAR yielding better results.
Just a short comment about what is being discussed here, quite some time ago I created an "Object" with 6 appropriate "strength" factors which I applied only against my contenders it proved out to be VERY strong in pointing to the Best contender.
