Sure thing Richard

I see you only look at fields of 8 betting interest

Here is a Hypothetical question

Lets say you have a field of 8 horses But one of the horses is a real slow horse with a 1 -57 life time record. Its speed ratings and beaten lengths are dismal compared to the other 7 horses. Its CSR is well below the 0.0 horse and all the other horses for that matter. Do you still consider this a workable race ?
If so are you not really still looking at 7 horses since one of them really bears no effect on the CSR or vdc But If you have a solid 7 horse field were all 7 horses have good comparable pacelines and the speed rating spread is very close something like 81 83 85 82 84 and 80 and the worst CSR is only
.157 from the 0.0 horse
why would this 7 horse field be different than a 8 horse field ??

Thanks
Bill
