    @ Sowly Away

    I use

    100

    as the base rate, I do not use any allowance for for 2yo’s.

    I rechecked my figures using your base rate of

    96

    and the speed figure still came out plus @

    29

    .

    My lbs. per length I use for the 6f furlongs at Kempton is

    2.80

    .

    Dave Edwards "Top Speed" has the going allowance for Kempton at

    0.20s/f

    which is close to what I came up with and he has a speed figure of

    26

    which includes the WFA allowance he uses.

    Even using Top Speed’s going allowance of

    0.20s/f

    I still get a speed figure of

    30

    and as I use an Excel macro to assess the whole meeting it is very hard to make a mistake and I always double check the figures afterwards.

    The race was

    4.00s

    above standard and even if I used the going allowance
    at 0.00s/f per furlong I would still end up with a plus speed figure of

    47

    so how you have ended up with a minus figure is interesting :shock:

    Looking at the other 6f race on the card won by

    Fast Finian

    the different in the above standard was 0.41 (41lbs), so if you subtract

    41

    from the speed figure you have allocated to

    Fast Finian

    you should still get a plus figure, I would get 67-41 =

    26

    8)

    4.00s-1.53s =

    2.47s

    2.47s divided by 6f =

    0.4116

    0.41×100 =

    41lbs

    41

    By the way I used your method calculating the going allowance for Beverley on the 13th and came up with

    -0.35s/f

    slow which looks about right and gives the time base going as

    good to soft

    , Dave Edwards says it is

    -0.46s/f

    and Dave Bellingham has it

    0.4

    slow :D
