Below is my worksheet for calculating July 26 Dirt Daily Variants at Saratoga.
All the dirt races were sprints, so that made things easier.
Average variant 2f = 0.47 seconds slow.
Average variant 4f = 0.61 seconds slow.
Average variant final= 0.72 seconds slow.
Median variant 2f = 0.44 slow
Median variant 4f = 0.49 slow
Median variant final = 0.38 slow
The median variants produces about the same Daily Variant as the average, except the final variant is not quite so slow.
The race that is difficult to figure is Race #9 -- the 2 year old stakes race. I have the final time 2.88 seconds slower than par. The older fillies in the 7th race ran the same distance a half second faster. So either the 2 year olds are slow or I have an incorrect par time for 2 year old stakes.
