NOTE-- this is what I was talking about when I said pars would affect your figures long term if used ANYWHERE in the process. I don't know whether Beyer (or those doing some of his circuits) still do this (there are strong indications they do something like it, having to do with the relationships between circuits), but if you bring your figures back to an artificial "par", you will not be able to see whether horses as a group are getting better or worse. I had this conversation with Friedman on the Rag board a few years ago, and touched on it at the DRF Expo.
Time-Form does something like this as well.
