Using Quirin's speed points

[shoelessjoe]

This is from Davidowitz's book Betting Thoroughbred's in which he uses Ron Cox's method


When 3 horses combine for 21-24 speed points or four have a total of 27 + pace will be fast and late runners will have a better chance.On a late runners track criteria should be lowered to 18 and 23 points.


Does anybody else have another way that they use them?

I have been using Quirin speed points lately to find "races like this one" using HSH. Roughly, I use four groups:

High speed; 22 or more points
Regular speed 18-21 points
Medium speed 14-17 points
Low speed 13 or fewer points
These are scores for four horses. I find these groups roughly divide claiming races into 25% groups. There is no other science behind these groups I have created.

As I recall, my finding with high speed races was not that closers were the correct choices, but rather the horse with the highest number of speed points.

Quirin speed points is a topic I would like to learn more about.

Check out Randy Giles Pace Pictures. Good ideas there.
The book is well worth it.

Fred,Do you just add the E horses or E\P as well.

They would be the top four irrespective of running style.
