Interesting question he asks:
" Take the weather factor a step further, suppose you live in Nebraska and wager on New York and New Jersey tracks. Let's further supoose that it is summertime. I have a question for you.
How would you know if the East coast track that you are playing today had a brief shower overnight that will positively affect track speed this afternoon ? I'm not talking a torrential downpour that renders the track sloppy or muddy, but rather a quick light rain for 15 to 30 minutes that slowed the track down to kill the front speed in the final 1/16th of a race. "
Sort of fits in with my thoughts on how far back was the gate from the light and how does this effect your internal pace figures ?
