Title: How Racehorses are Getting Faster
Post by: richiebee on April 25, 2011, 07:36:09 PM
The following comment was made to Steve Crist\'s blog in DRF by Real 1 Quiet on
Saturday morning:

\"Any details you could share on this would be appreciated (I ask out of curiosity
as opposed to criticism).

I printed out Gulfstream\'s Pick 6 races on Friday evening through Formulator.
Earlier today I went into Formulator to do some pedigree analysis and check out a
couple of replays when I noticed that almost every BSF for races on turf at
Gulfstream that had been run over the past 7 weeks or so had changed (essentially
an increase of 2 to 3 BSF points across the board for all GP turf races). Was
there a change to the track variant or did they change the formula or benchmarks
used for turf races?\"
