Do you intend to post any kind of overall compilation of the new pattern data? For example, the compilation might show, for each pattern (by my count, there should be 64 for dirt and 64 for turf), the outcomes for different age groups (for example: Jan-Mar 3yos; Apr-Jun 3yos; etc.). Where the sample size shown on a given sheet is small, such a posting would allow people to evaluate the strength of a pattern using a larger sample.

An alternative approach would be to show, for featured age groups, the outcomes of the various possible patterns. That would allow people to evaluate the importance of the third race back in looking at a pattern. For example, if you see an 0-2 for the last two races, how much do you care what preceded the 0?

I can understand that you might not want to post this kind of data for competitive or other business reasons. On the other hand, one might argue that the patterns are specific to Thorograph figures and wouldn't be useful to people not buying Thorograph data.

At the very least, I would think that you would want to look at these kinds of report internally. A report of the first type would be helpful to you in decding whether a 3-month window is appropriate or whether you can use a larger window and get larger sample sizes without diluting the significance of the data.
