Speed & RunTo ratings
Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2017 1:54 pm
I am most likely being thick but I have a question about the "Speed" ratings and the "RunTo" rating.
Where do the "Speed" ratings come from ..are they an actual average velocity figure - as in length of race divided by time race took to run. Or arrived at by some other calculated way?
I don't understand what the "RunTo" figure is telling me. The notes say this is the traditional form figure adjusted with todays weights. Is the traditional form figure the "OR" official rating? If this is so then am i right in assuming it is just a cunning way of leveling the field for direct comparison?
Thank you for this fantastic site ...
Hoping someone knows the answers ...
