Not sure if your database can do this Jim but it would be interesting to also look at how many days it is to the following start based on how many days it was between your previous starts. Coming back in three days might have a good success rate but if it then takes on average of 60 days to make your next start it might not be so good of an idea.

yeah I've thought about that and agree it would be interesting to follow patterns like that. however at the moment I don't know of any way to track the days for a horse over multiple starts. I'm sure there's a way to do it if you spend enough time on it.

What was his name? A Frankel sprinter of a few years back. Won an allowance race and 10 days later won a good stakes in his best race to date. Frankel said he didn't usually run them back that quickly, but the horse was acting so good, he went ahead and did it. Think that was the same summer that Dave ran in a race 5 days before he won another race, a NY-bred stakes I think. Oh, the middle-aged memory!

That's the one! Knew it started with 'M', but could only come up with Medaglia d'Oro and I knew it wasn't him.
