The Introduction page spells out the factors we use to make figures. It says the "effects of wind" which is a short way of saying wind direction and velocity. So yes we do factor in wind speed. The online seminar, available as a link off the Introduction page, gives a much more detailed explanation our methodology.

A symbol sheet and legend is also available as a link off the Introduction page.

In the sire profile, route averages are based on routes, races 8 furlongs or longer, regardless of surface. Initially we considered splitting dirt and turf routes but decided against it. In the end we decided that distance was the sole criterion.

The above cited pages and seminar provides the non-proprietary specifics.

Feel free to query us if you have more questions.
