Re: [RC] More interesting stats - Jon . Linderman"From this data, I'd conclude that the idea that the LD BC will promote racing is much ado about nothing." Heidi I have to disagree to a certain extent, with some numbers of my own. I am arguing not about speeds per say, but about PLACINGS. Its clear to me that placing IS a huge factor in LD BC. Just looking at one region of the top-4 competitors in the LD Regional BC standing, counting 37 total BC's for these 4 horse/rider teams: 26 of those BC's were 1st place, 6 were 2 place, 2 were 3rd place, 1 was 5th place, and NONE were beyond 5th place. I am sure that these horses were in great condition and I do not suggest any of thes horse/rider teams were racing, but it is clear to me that IF BC is a goal, & IF placing in Regional LD BC is a goal, you can not be placing out of the top-3 on a regular basis. Remember speed is 25% (200 of 800 points) and each minute is a point & numbers can be construed in many different ways too. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
