well if you do it properly, you have equalised tracks(not perfect as nothing in racing is perfect, but close) , and what you have left is horse.
of course it is very fluid though, as things never stay the same.
as a rough idea, if you knew for certain that the standard of horse at track 'a' was identical to track 'b' then any difference in the variant, must be track.
mustn't it?
and the opposite applies, if the tracks are identical but the variant differs, then the horses are weaker(or stronger) on average.
the problem is how to do the equalising, and i am confident i can.
in usa, apparently the tracks generally don't have the huge variation in topography and layout that other countries like england and aust have, thus it would probably be easier to figue in usa than those other places.
