    just seen the results! The numbers from previous runs in the systems suggest that backing place isn’t a profitable route. Perhaps that could be wrong!

    Another frustrating day, with one 3.4 bsp winner and two massive priced placed horses. This is to be expected when backing at big prices, so no panic.

    Just watched Divot's last race Nass. Why did he get a sectional upgrade. Seemed to have a pretty normal run near the rails to me. Despite the race report saying he dwelt, he got away well from what I could see. He did throw his head about at one stage so maybe that was it. Regarding the longest stride, is this relative to others or relative to his stride during the rest of the race. This is another bit that fascinates me as he wasn't gaining at the finish so maybe he naturally has a longer stride due to his conformation. That was his first attempt at 10f

    What I would find interesting is his previous races (beaten minimum of 6l in all of them). Would he have had sectional and/or longest stride upgrades/downgrades in those races? Is that something you can get from your system(s)?

    Stride length top in two of the four runs. Southwell and LTO. This is relative to all horses in race, which can bring same horse to the fore many times if they are an exceptionally long striding horse.

    Upgrades two of four runs scores 10 or above. LTO and Kempton

    His upgrade last time was because of his ineffective style by jockey. He went faster than optimum in the early part, which made his last four furlongs really inefficient. The data suggests he could have run much better if he had been ridden more effectively.

    Hope you don't mind me commenting Nass but I find this extra data intriguing. Looking at Divots previous races on ATR I wonder what those figures tell us ie the Speed Analysis, Efficiency Rating and the stride length/strides per sec

    The speed analysis seems to indicate that the pace was immaterial, his feet per second varies significantly from race to race and the efficience rating is all over the place (37.93, 27.81, 4.32, 100.02 - coded D,C,A,F respectively). I'll have to look up what those codes mean

    What can we tell from these figures?

    This is what confuses me. He has an efficiency rating of 100.02 for his last run as opposed to much lower ratings for his previous runs

    ATR figures don’t use course par values, where Proform do, hence the difference.

    I see. Looking at this, the strong early pace would not have been ideal for a horse going up in distance for the first time, if not guaranteed to stay

    Apologies for my lack of knowledge, I thought this implied they do but I don't know what course par values are

    "HOW THE OPTIMUMS ARE CALCULATED

    The optimum figures we display have been calculated by Simon Rowlands, who is the leading expert on Sectional Times in the UK and are derived from efficiently-run races that resulted in fast times. The optimums allow for a standing start, course configuration and topographical changes."

    Just a thought. Would you prefer I moved my questions to a separate thread to avoid cluttering your selections?

    Its useful to be on here. Continue!!

    The difference is the "efficiently run races in fast times" versus all races in Proform.
    This is a really good example of horses using their energy inefficiently, the race wasn't run to suit horses who had potential stamina doubts. The interesting one for the selection is that his stride length didn't shorten as much as many, suggesting perhaps they could be more confident of him being able to go with the pace today. That is the theory anyway!!

    As you know Nass, I'm a bit of a clockwatcher (much to your disapproval <laugh>). But what I would find interesting is a clock upgrade feature, similar in concept to your sectional upgrades but in seconds. Could be very useful combining with your other upgrades
