    Working on my speed figures for <b>Nass</b> this morning, I was looking at a speed figure at <b>0.00s/f</b> per furlong for 2yo winner <b>Oklahoma City</b> of <b>143</b> and that’s without the WFA allowance <!– s:shock: –>:shock:<!– s:shock: –>

    After working on the rest of the races, I ended up with a going allowance of <b>+0.75s/f</b> per furlong, which I would have to describe as <b>hard going</b> something I saw last year at <b>Wexford </b> where I had the going allowance at <b>+0.60s/f</b>.

    After the going allowance adjustment <b>Oklahoma City</b> speed figure is now <b>79</b> <!– s8) –>8)<!– s8) –>

    Maybe I should add a <b>hard going</b> line to my turf going allowance table like this <!– s:shock: –>:shock:<!– s:shock: –>

    <b>Turf going allowance table:</b>
    Hard +0.65s/f to +0.80s/f
    Firm +0.55s/f to +0.63s/f
    Good/firm +0.20s/f to +0.53s/f
    Good -0.25s/f to +0.18s/f
    Good/soft -0.55s/f to -0.28s/f
    Soft -1.00s/f to -0.58s/f
    Heavy -1.58s/f to -1.03s/f

    Maybe the official going description should have read <b>(hard going with concrete in places)</b> <!– s:D –>:D<!– s:D –>
