I quote the article in question (it's a study, not a survey) extensively in the "Are Racehorses Faster" posts that can be found in the archives. It was done by some pretty serious guys, and appeared in Scientific American.
I have to say that a lot of you guys (not you, P.E., you're just coming in) are taking the lazy way out here, which is annoying considering the amount of work I put into the original posts. If you want to challenge my conclusions, read the damn series so you understand the logic, which deals with most if not all of the issues raised here recently. Michael (or anybody else), if you want info about specific tracks go do your own research.
I did some for the articles, and not so that I would know what was going on-- I knew that from looking at data day to day that you guys never see. I did it to try and find out WHY.
Anyway, we're posting the series again here. Read it and try and understand it if you're going to challenge me on it.
