I did a reply but it has never made it on to the list.<br>
It is in the archives though.<br>
Maybe I should have trimmed it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span

in Melbourne most Group 1 races are run in Spring when the
tracks are better going, and Open races are run all year
round.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#365F91">Then
there’s 3200m hurdles and steeples etc, obviously the time
is going to be quite different to all flat races over 3200m,
so the hurdles and steeples will seem Heavy 10 and the flat
races will seem Firm 2…..just putting it out there, as
that’s just an example of how deriving track condition from
time is error prone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">No you don't need a time for each going.<br>
If you dissected the times that Tony put up as an example,
you would see that they are all over the place relatively.<br>
Most people that do it that way get, the same
inconsistencies,<br>
And remember that word....relatively.....as it's the most
important thing to consider when doing time<br>
One time for each distance at each track is all you need.<br>
That way your standards will tell you the going, probably
more accurately than the official which is after all just an
opinion of whoever is doing whichever track.<br>
<br>
Good luck though as there is so many inaccurate times, wrong
distances, and three zillion ways of giving the section
times.<br>
