I would love to build a model broken into two ratings "speed" and "stamina".
I want to know who is the fastest horse for around 4 furlongs and who has the most stamina.
Then I want to know whether today's conditions (distance, surface, bias, pace, competitive setup) favor one or the other and to what degree.
But stamina is a tricky thing to measure because it involves both how far the horse can run and remain competitive and the quality of the horses it can do it against. It also sometimes requires seeing how it performs in a really tough highly competitive and demanding race.
Speed can also be tricky because on turf, many horses are doing their fastest running at the end, but those last quarters are partially related to the early pace.
