Speaking of Quirin Points

[MikeH]

Ken Massa (HTR) has posted an extensive analysis of Quirin Speed points over at the HTR web site:

And here's another interesting study:

MikeH,

It was nice speaking with you today. Thanks for the call.

On the subject of Q ES Pts, why does Ken not show the "0" horses in his study?

Any ideas?

Dave,

Ken indicates in the second bullet on the first page about Quirin speed points that he modified the method slightly and made 1 the minimum. This allows the zero to be used as a "not available" item for horses that cannot be computed or have data missing.

Hope that helps,

Hdcper
