Thaskalos, that is I addressed.

I just used more of an extreme, from 6f to 9f. Same principle.

Shouldn't it take longer for the 5,000 claimer to travel that extra half-furlong than it takes a stakes horse?

In principle, yes.

Quirin had a table that he suggested. It showed how to increase the adjustment away from $10k. The problem is, "Why $10k?" Why not $8k, or $25k?

If you put this into a spreadsheet you will see that the "fulcrum" point makes a big difference. Couple this together with the problem of "a $16k race doesn't always have $16k horses" and you have a nightmare.
