Title: Sheet Question
Post by: Billz2000a on December 04, 2012, 09:08:50 AM
I have a question on handicapping one turn sprint races.  I know the sheets measure ground lose, among other factors, as a product of of it\'s number.  Do you guys consider an outside post position to actually be beneficial since horses are able to run at their normal cruising speed even if they may experience ground lose on the turn?

I don\'t believe the sheets consider this factor and was wondering if it should?  Just not sure how you would measure.

We don\'t quantify subjective things, you\'re free to make an adjustment in the figure.
