If you don’t as you state assume some kind of fixed relationship between distances the
only other way you could assign any numbers at 4 1/2f races run exclusively by 1st and
second time out 2yo’s in the springtime at Churchill would by reviewing past times to
establish a par at that distance and incorporating an average time into your speed chart for CD . I’m on
your side regarding the Chilluki debate but one of your follow up posts perplexed me.
You stated “But more importantly, PLEASE-- these are 2 year olds, in April. OF
COURSE they're going forward, rapidly..........” Absolutely, but this rapid development
also prohits you from establishing any kind of reliable par, no? And if you’re not assuming
a fixed relationship between 4 1/2f and other sprint distance(s) how can you assign any
number to these horses?
