Pace Quality or pQ attempts to measure the pace of the primary contenders in a race at the pace call. This can be important in identifying a true race shape. pQ2 measures the pace of the primary contenders from the pace call to the the finish.

Default and this all means?

Bobby,

Nice stuff and there's nothing like fresh ways at looking at races.

From what you've collected, whose your top four?

Thanks Spyder

Based on the numbers Street Sense is the top choice, Nobiz is very solid, Curlin hasn't done anything wrong, and a number of horses are very close after that.

attached are power ratings for some of the contenders.
Race Quality = a power rating using paceQuality ratings, a variant factor, and a seperation factor.

Race Quality + Stamina = Race Quality applied to distance run as well as a pedigree stamina factor.
