Did you actually look at the differences between the two races or did that not suit your agenda? What numbers make sense to you?

Agenda?

I'm looking at two races run on the same day at the same distance. Yes, I looked at the differences between the races, most notably the final time.

The number that makes sense to me is the one based on the actual times (variant adjusted).

So you didn't look. That's what I assumed. You should, as they are significantly different at even a glance.

Yep, you got me - all I did was look at the final time and make my decision

I should hope so, because otherwise it's a really crazy question.

The knee jerk reaction of "the fig is wrong" is boorish, but it also begs another question...is this the way you think you can intelligently analyze horse racing? Handicapping is figuring out what the right questions are and then trying to find the right answers to them. In this discussion, you are failing to do both.
