We are using "effective top", as defined in the tables. As a practical matter it means best of last 6 races.
The problems with using mean, etc., are a) that's not how people handicap, we work relative to a horse's top, and b) it would mean working out the mean on every horse you handicap.
If this new stuff works out like we hope it will knock your socks off. We have been shooting for having it ready by the Derby, but historically everything takes longer than we hope, so we'll see. We are running the tables now.
