Just wanted to mention, I tweak the numbers. What I do is I take the raw numbers, similar to what Ray uses, and then I look to see how shippers do when they ship from one track to another and I make adjustments. No matter how you do it, it's impossible to get it accurate, but I try to at least get a good idea of how fast each track is. What makes it tough is that the times at a track are greatly affected by the class of horse at each track. So a track like Buffalo, for instance, always came up slow. Years ago the USTA had it very slow. But that was because the horses were slow, not the track.
