thats a cracking post Warbler :clap:

Have you always used weight in your calcs?

I ask because I've been down both routes..you probably have too.

I now tend to settle on race times with expected pars for each race type giving the race a rating rather than the individual horse..I seem to get far more consistent going allowances and the times stay more pure.

There always seems something wrong in changing race times to allow for weight..i did that for a good period though but kept getting illogical anomolies that made me believe over a period of time that tinkering with race times wasn't the way.

I think it is what you are happy with over a period of time basically, the last few years of using race pars has given me less need to question times or going allowances..this in turn has led me to believe that keeping it pure is preferable.

Would like to know your views on this.
