Figure Study - Friday 7/28

[scavsiu8]

Take last three figures on today\'s surface, toss slowest, average other two. Adjust each horse\'s average for weight in standard manner. Rank horses from fastest to slowest, working all the way down through the A/E list. Whichever service has the winner ranked higher gets a point. In event of TG-Rags tie in the rankings for the winner, go to second-place horse, but no lower. If there are fewer than three figures for a given horse, average up what is there. All horses from foreign countries with no figures from one side or the other get tossed for both sides. If either side did not make a figure for a relevant race, the race gets tossed. First-time starter wins? Treat second-place finisher as winner. But go no lower than second. If we go to the third (unused) figure in case of ties, we will eliminate them. Half points for each horse in a dead heat. If one side has both horses rated higher, they get a full point.
