I've often wondered about the nightmare task of making speed/pace figs for turf races because of so much data(configurations you mention) and so little data(few races/dist).How are pars even established??Does it take a 2-3-4-5 year database to have enough info to be accurate??
Even if somebody was a projected time master what do you think the error fact is in this endeavor CJ??
Plus I was just curious.The speed of a turf course is going to be reflected in the actual times but because there may only be a few routes a day it might be hard to gauge.I noticed the first 5 days at Tampa the turf course was quick but since it has seemed dull-slow.I always wondered if you constructed a variant from only internal times vs pars if it would be more accurate than the actual 1/2,3/4,final etc???
You deal with a lot more info than I do so I thought I'd ask you.I've crudely made a half mile fig(from 1/4 to 3/4)then a closing fig(3/4 to final time) in conjunction with the Beyers and have had some success.Do you think this is folly and madness or what??!!
