Sometimes a race will be wriiten: " N/W of $6020 in their last six starts".
Now it seems obvious that this race condition was written specifically to fit one horse in the race. Is it possible to calculate a horse's earnings from looking at its finish position for the purses in which it competed in its last six races?

1st=50%
2nd=25%
3rd=12.5%
4th=8%
5th=5%

Some half-milers are paying 6th & 3% when nine go.
Some 5/8's are paying 6th % 3% when ten go.
Both of the above are to assure enough entries in the event of scratches for exotics. Neither has been really successful.

A few tracks are occasionally paying a guarantee per all starters. WEG has done this a few weeks each winter.

Most programs these days have the money won for last 6 and last 10 races incorporated in them.

" N/W of $6020 in their last six starts"

There are also "earnings allowances" which need to added in the numbers as well.
These allowances are nearly identical to "claiming allowances".

Didn't think I'd ever forget these numbers, however I have.
Years ago, they used to be published in every program (as did other things).

4YO's- 25%
3YO's- ?%
2YO's- ?%
Fillies & Mares- ?%

Ontario has the following allowances

Ontario has allowances on earnings for 2, 3 & 4 year olds.

A 2 year old can deduct 60% of the current season earnings when calculating their Lifetime earnings.

A 3 year olds can deduct 25% of the current season earnings and 50% of their previous season (2 yo) earnings.

A 4 year old can deduct 25% of their 3 yo earnings.
