[AusRace] Engineering Analysis of Thoroughbred Racing

[L.B.Loveday]

Tony, 

When I saw your comment on 'e' then "Engineering Analysis", I immediately
though of 2.71828182845904523536028747135266249775724709369995, but looks
like it's another 'e'.

I removed some lines from this -they were advertising

 I corrected some grammar anomalies - from US of A to strine.

The inputs can be modified to use 200,400 and 600 metre times, and the
overall (of course) although the author uses the expression 'furlongs' (a
metre longer, then use
201 as a furlong,401,601)
 'e' cannot be explained nor defined nor extrapolated and an early equation
remains unsolved because of this - in addition to the overuse of nor.
Otherwise a couple of reads and it comes to you.
I presume I have permission to post it here - it is again freely available 

There is an explanation of 'e' at the end, read on

Engineering Analysis of Thoroughbred Racing BY RUBIN BOXER, RETIRED ENGINEER
Engineering Analysis of Thoroughbred Racing
Note: This engineering report, long treasured by those who make a living
betting on the horses, has rarely been available to the general public. For
contained within this twelve-page report, written using  the objective
language of mathematics by retired engineer Rubin Boxer, is a solid,
scientific foundation to the art of horse racing. Those who take the time to
learn how to apply the methodology as laid out in this report will have a
decided advantage over their competition, other horse handicappers.
ABSTRACT:


E = Most tracks are dirt, grass or synthetic. Race times vary from track to
track depending on the surfaces. Horses wear horseshoes to protect their
feet and increase the "grippiness" on the track. Similarly to running
wearing spikes the shoes allow horses to turn with more power at high speeds
without slipping. We will examine the coefficient of fiction on dirt, grass,
and synthetic tracks. The coefficient of friction is the "measure of the
amount of resistance that a surface exerts on or substances moving over it,
equal to the ratio between the maximal frictional force that the surface
exerts and the force pushing the object toward the surface."[2] Because
racehorses are in motion we use kinetic coefficient of friction. The average
coefficient of friction for grass is .35, for synthetic tracks (rubberish)
.68, and for dirt .35.[3] [4] The safest track is a synthetic track and then
grass and dirt tracks. This is important to know because jockeys have to be
careful during turns, slowing down, but on a synthetic track they do not
need to slow down as much because it is grippier.
