Ok. Great. So in the regression stats tool in Access, you can create a general tool, (I suggest it be runners 1-12, even though many races will not have 12 runners). The winners will be (I suggest) the number "1". (in one column). In your races then in the tool, rank the horses as they come in, from your "opinion" and see how they stack up when you run the regression.
So what you are comparing is the graph of the winners, (#1) with the graph of the ending (final position) horses you think will win. The regression will tell you how you do ... and if you want to make it complicated, ... separate the specific elements of what constitutes (goes into) "your opinion" and you can see how each of the elements rank in the final positions of the horses. |

You should be able to find (how to) explanations on how to make the regression in Access or Excel on YouTube. Once you've done one, you'll see they are easy. Make one column with the 1's (for the winner), (one of them may have to be .999 instead of "1", as if they are all "1" the programming doesn't like it). The the next column, rank your opinion horses, for that race, and run the regression on the two columns of numbers.
