Title: Question for J.B.
Post by: high roller on December 02, 2012, 08:58:51 PM

Jerry - I was watching a race today at Aqueduct where a Jock fell off. Assuming a horse won a 6f race in 1:10 carrying 120 lbs - and gets a figure of 5 -

What figure would you give the loose horse with no weight who finishes next to him?

Five pounds is worth a point so if you really want to go down this road, assuming equal ground loss, you would be adding 20+ points to the other horse\'s figure.

I would suggest adding a jockey.
