5. Projected Pace Pressure this Race (0-30 rating with 0 being no speed and 30 being a race loaded with speed)
How would you approach testing how to weight each of those factors so the spreadsheet would understand that as the Projected Pace Pressure changes, the optimal Running Style and it's importance would also change?
Maybe that needs to be done separately?

Just keep in mind that as horses drop in class, their other ratings are sometimes somewhat irrelevant.
