A:“I think the most common is we underestimate how much winners improve when they win races,” he said. “Most people are using a projection method or a par or something like that. But so many horses — I think this is quoting the Beyer study from a long time ago —
I think they found the average winner improved more than 10 points over their previous figures. When horses win, they're usually improving and often by a lot and the younger the horse the more that's true.
Possible improved timing upgrade:
In the last week, it should be noted, three North American tracks officially installed a British company's
GPS-based timing system. Woodbine, Laurel Park and Pimlico have been testing Total Performance Data for several months and the feedback Milkowski has gotten about it has been positive. The tracks seem to like it.
