Speed Figures

[RussP]

Interested to hear views on these? Who uses them? Which do you use? I do think Topspeed in the RP are probably the best out there and I like to use them, as well as many other methods, to determine whether a horse is well handicapped and whether previous form is likely to stand up. Quite often you can use these to identify a short price handicap fav that is up against it...basically it won lto in a false run race, for example. A horse with consistent recent figures is generally likely to give its running. Any thoughts?

Re: Speed Figures How do they compile the topspeed figures in the RP? Are they just a normal figure of time clocked versus course standard, adjusted for any biases on the day? I used to read Lawrence Taylors on the ATR page but havent for a while.
