I've rerun the Stratford races using the times in your Standard time file, and get very similar comptime figures to kick off with that then diverge when I do similar calcs ... if I use your -0.25 figure for the allowance I get very similar values right across the board for adj/adjcomp/lbsLength and div/0.2 (or x by 5 as I tend to figure it) but my final ratings are rather different, Mister Universum for example is coming out at 21 (my ratings put him at 69, so I suppose I'm circling you at the moment....)
Going back manually over the calculation, because I don't see how I can have all the different values within a hair of yours and end up with half the final rating.......isn't your calculation basically to take the div/0.2 figure, multiply it by lbs per length, subtract the result from 100 and then compensate for weight? For Mr U I'd make that 100-(86.63 * 0.92) which is 100- 79.7 = 20.3, with the horse carrying 11-0 there's no weight to add/subtract, so isn't that a final rating of 20? Are you then adding a correction in for the difference between the average OR and the top 3 ratings or something?
Sorry to be a pain, I'm obviously missing something simple here - probably as a result of staring at the screen too long again....
Enjoy the fishing!
After 45 mins in bed I simply had to fire the PC up to explain that I had a lighhtbulb moment.
It's all okay, you are working to a base rating of 130 of course while I was still using 100 - suddenly we are in agreement.... Dohhh again!
