I don't feel like digging out my stats texts books right now so I'll just suggest you search wikipedia. Search for statistical significance. They should at least give the equations for t-tests, and probably for f-tests and z-tests. I would think that the bigger problem will be in establishing the va...

The rate at which a horse is consuming energy will determine how long it can maintain its' pace. A horse that gets hooked on the front end, might not run faster but it often runs harder because it isn't relaxed and therefore burns more energy. A lot of people I know have been going to the track all ...

For wagering, my preferred field size is 7 horses. Enough horses to ensure that you can get some odds, but not big enough that you are going to lose because of traffic. Nothing more annoying than watching the best horse not getting a chance to run to its' ability because of traffic. From the perspec...

Griff - since the penalty is a civil, not criminal, penalty they have very broad scope for banning the use, and possession, of compounds that they classify as performance enhancing. Even within that broad scope, they have to use scientific evidence and a reasonable process if they don't want the cou...

I think Bode will skip the Belmont because Baffert knows he isn't going to beat IHA beyond 9f. Mike Smith nursed Bode because he saw how much horse IHA was down the stretch in the KD. IHA is bred to handle the Belmont distance. Not another horse in the KD or the Preakness really want 10f never mind ...

Reminds me of the Danica Patrick thing in Indy Racing. It galled the male drivers that she got all the attention, but because there were people coming to see if she could win, it put money in everyone's pockets. The question I have is: What are the racing authorities doing to exploit this girl and p...

I would say that the brightest spot from what I can see is Manitoba. They are the only ones who are showing good growth in their handle. Alberta is in serious trouble due to terrible management by everyone since the slots arrived. The slot contract will almost certainly not be renewed when it runs o...

Not the economic impact but the economic benefit. In doing the economic analysis the economists will build into the analysis the assumption that if the industry were to disappear, nothing would take its' place. The economic impact therefore becomes very large. In reality, the farms will convert to o...
