We would go to the second place finisher.
Eric-- the things you mention in your post on the Ragozin site are true for both sides and will wash out over a significant sampling. But that aside, it's a figure study, not a betting study. And the reason we are choosing these two meets is that they are high-visibility, and everybody follows them anyway.
Please read my earlier post carefully. If after that you or Len have any suggestions as to how the study can be improved, I'm open to discussing them.
It occurs to me we could add another category along the same lines as seeing who had the winner rated higher-- taking the highest rated horse by each service in each race and seeing which finished higher, whether it won or not.
