Total Energy Differences In Sprints - Pace and Cap

lsosa54 · 09-01-2011, 05:56 PM

Would it be safe to say that given reasonable paces (nothing overly fast for the distance or class level), that TE for 5.5f distances is about 2 pts. higher than 6 & 6.5f distances (ex. 177.0 vs 175.0) and that 7 and 7.5f distances are about 2 full pts. lower than 6 & 6.5f?

Just looking for an average ballpark estimate here.

Hi Lou

I only have records from Del Mar and Parx

and not that many races

What I do have seems to support your post

Now class has a lot to do with total energy number hi low and ave

Example a $25000 horse may have a 173 total energy at 6.0
and a $5000 horse may have a 168 total energy at 6.0

But from what I have the AVE 7.0 Total Energy for all horses is about 2 pts
less than the AVE for 6.0 furlongs I don't have enough 5.5 and 7.5 races to make a call on them
