F.L. Post Position Study_02.xls
Some months ago I was fooling around with Excel to see if I could extract something useful from a Post Position study.............something more than just winners as a percentage of runners per post. I finally struck upon the attached spreadsheet, which is hopefully self-explanatory. The interesting aspects of it for me are:
1) It is a pictorial display rather than just a list percentages, etc,
2) You can get a snapshot of running styles as they relate to post position, size of field,
3) You can easily tell how certain posts (especially outside and next-to-outside posts) fare at certain distances.
4) You can keep a running tally easily, day by day, distance by distance, and by
track conditions.
I would appreciate your constructive criticism. Is it a worthwhile approach, how it can be improved, etc.
