Accurate timing for each horse, including the run up in opening fraction and total distance of the race.

Nitro makes some valid points. I would say nothing new, at least to those that have studied speed figures. There are flaws in any handicapping method, including tote board methods.

Speed and pace figures are basically just a still frame of a movie that has been run in the past. But, to me they give you a general idea of the talent level of the horse. How that horse will run to day is a guess. Clues to that can be found in the past performance as well as the odds board.
