I had a sheet that told me all distances in workouts with time being changed to estimated speed rating. If anyone has one or knows where I can copy it off the internet, Please share it with me
May the horses be with you.

    Never heard of it, but sounds interesting. I'm assuming it takes into account whether the horse was breezing, handily, etc?

    Creating speed ratings from workouts is perhaps the dumbest thing i've ever heard. Horses (good ones, anyway) aren't going all-out in workouts, so the times are virtually meaningless. What's far more important is how a horse is doing it, and how he might've fared in company with another horse.
