No worries B. Been working on wind adjustments on horses that are covered up, mostly turf races. Thought that would give you an edge. But the work load is insane, and probably not feasible for one person to do.

Have spoken to a couple of retired jocks and they told me quantifying wind was a waste of time. I asked him if he rode more into the saddle than riding straight up. He asked why was I asking. I replied that if you rode up higher , the more drag the horse has to overcome. He replied that it didn't matter.
Than the conversation shifted to the weight a horse carries. Told me that was over rated also.

Then I told him Chad Brown lost some horses over a weight disagreement. He wasn't buying that. He doesn't believe ground loss is over rated.
Probably explains a lot of rides that make your blood boil.
