Thanks, Tony. I should add that I did not adjust the Beyer and Timeform figures for weight and ground loss since that is the they way they are published and most commenly used. You may, therefore, see some variations in particular races mainly due to ground loss and weight differentials. That's partly why the TG ratings will be the more accurate ones in case of conflicts. My next step is to apply this formula to the Timeform and TG figures for the Dubai races. I strongly suspect the 2 will will be very similar demonstrating the value of the TG ratings for European races and shippers to the U.S.
One of my group members is planning to test the conversions one acouple of races involving horses making their U.S debuts from France and Germany. I'm curious to see what results anyone here gets in similar situations.
I do want to emphasize that these conversions are not a sustitute for TG ratings. What they do is validate the correlation between them and Timeform, which are the "gold standard" for European performance.
