Muv - Pace and Cap

For The Lead · 07-15-2010, 04:31 AM

I have been driving myself crazy trying to recall what "muv" stands for and how it was calculated. If there is anyone out there who remembers this from the old Energy program, I would appreciate your response.

Thanks.

MUV = Match Up Variegate.

It's the weighted differential (fraction by fraction) between the 'dream race' energy and the horse's adjusted energy. There lots of discussion about it and its usage in the older Follow Ups related to the Energy! program

The formula was never (and is not now) in the public domain.

With consistent and logical contender selection and pace line choosing, it can be a good readout to model by track, distance, and surface. I remember on some tracks years ago, if your muv was over 2.0, you were not a win contender on the dirt.

Thanks Ted. It was like trying to remember someone's name that you "know" and you just can't come up with it. It bothers the hell out of you until you get it.

Thank you and you are quite correct!
