Who the f is benny?

Im always open to advice...but I don't listen to dickheads who think a fast maiden win is better than a Black Type 3rd...like woddy wank and Bogan Bazz do

Otherwise Breeders would change their Catologue protocols and have Mile Rates instead of Bold Type

...now F off back to your amatuer comps you amatuer

More ignorance.

Black type is a simple classification to give an indication, since there is no simple way for people like you to understand anything else.

And only a nutter would think mile rates could mean anything in a breeding catalogue since times vary massively from track to track and condition of track. How could people like you understand them since there would be no information available to give an indication of the relative merit.

You really come across as mentally deficient.

This is simply hilarious...

You were the one comparing Vega Magic's time on a soft track listed race to its Blinkers On good track G1 form when leading...

...on a VERY WINDY DAY where no other leaders won because of it...

You then had the audacity to say the other race was a better performance...purely because of the time...taking no account of the race day conditions....

It seems you should take your own advice...times "vary massively"

and instead take mine...."Black Type is a constant"

...that's why Breeders use it and not fastest times like you do

How are you going with that remedial primary school maths Thommo?

No it's not. Pi is a constant.

Tommy 'Two Fingers' fires off these words he just learnt like pi because... both he and pi are irrational. It all adds up, he doesn't have a math problem as such, his drug is the rush of the argument. Unfortunately addiction often leads one way...downhill.

He isn't constant either.

He writes endlessly on how class of race relates to superior form.

And then writes endlessly on how blinkers on makes horses run faster.

So he now wants us to believe that Vega Magic ran best ever with blinkers on, which is saying that a G3 win is better than his G1 wins. Keep this up and he may soon realise that a maiden performance can also be better than a R85 performance. Who knew?

FTF, I'm wondering if we could get him to divide 22 by 7 and keep going till he reaches a rational number. The odds of success would be similar to the chance of him producing any rational ideas but it might keep him occupied for a few days.

Now we just need to find a horse that was 3.14159 lengths behind the winner last start, preferably with blinkers.

This is simply extraordinary stuff...

π is ubiquitous and I'd take a wild stab and say it's THE most widely known mathematical constant...

...besides my Sis is a High School Maths teacher and she has no trouble teaching year 8 Students this basic formula...and how to apply it to circly race track thingys 

Why did your bff think there was no quantitative measure for this I wonder?

Did he not go past Year 8?

Pi and any things that relate to Pi is not the issue.

It's your application of it in a race situation that is comical. Harness horses will often be affected by 6 times+ the amount of extra distance compared to a thoroughbred when they race two wide.

Yet in that case you claim your 'formula' does not apply.

Great news that someone in the family passed primary school maths. Why don't you ask her to explain the ecological fallacy to you. I've given up.

And also preferably one that raced 3 wide without cover in its last start, so we can apply the PI formula.

The racecourse not being a circle, one would probably approximate on an oval therefore C = 2 x π x √((a2 + b2) ÷ 2). Do we factor in pi in regards to the barrier draw? Just trying to fine down my ratings.

I suppose that would depend on whether the start is on a bend or in a straight and if the latter, how close to the first turn and if the former, how close to the next straight?  I think you'll need quite a few more variables in there to get a good approximation. Thommo will probably be able to help though.

I'd just go with C = 2 x π x √((a2 + b2) ÷ 2) + (1 x barrier draw) for now.

You haven't factored in adding a impact of wind based on speed and direction. Some serious trig involved there. And adding in the height of the jockey above the horse when riding.

Also, the degree of any track camber has to be factored in - apparently.

Crap, this is getting complicated. We should have a serious advantage if we can work it out though. I guess you'd have to add in whether or not the jockeys were wearing speed silks or not as well in calculating the wind resistance factor. Is that reported anywhere?
