Thats exactly what par is, the "average" for a specific class at a specific distance. The more specific you make the class the more accurate the average.

Par is step one.

Step two is determining race by race deviations from Par for a Day's Card and calculating a variant or "daily average off par"

Step three is determining how individual races fall in regard to that daily average.

Step Four is considering all the things that Tgraph considers and

Step Five is assigning a figure.

The surprise is....

No one does all five steps. Well, almost no one.
