No I am not setting weights. user chooses what factors to use and what weight to give them. It's then just a matter of the raw figures doing the scaling. If a guy uses Fib let's say and he weights Last speed at 100. Horse A has a speed number of 89 and horse B has a 79. Use Fib and since B is 10 points less than A, A should get 100 points and B only 62? Does that really correlate .... If they are only 10 points apart in raw figure they should be 38 points apart with points for that factor? Or what if there is only a 2 point difference in their speed number. Is it fair to give A 100 points and B just 62? I don't think so, or at least it doesn't make sense to me anyway.

And besides in an earlier post you suggested getting rid of all scaling.
