Now Speed Ratings are not everyone's cup of tea, but Tatts day on UNITAB gives us a Quadrella Jackpot Races 5, 6, 7, and 8 with Race 5 Tatts Cup 2200 metres with a starting Jackpot of $96,424; The Healy Stakes 1200 mtrs Race 6; Tatts Tiara 1400 mtrs Race 7 (and speed ratings are given on it's own thread); and Race 8 Tatts Mile 1600 metres with a Trifecta starting Jackpot of $121,778. So with that mix of distances we can get some comparative idea if Speed is of any use over these differing events in selecting a Winner but mainly for the exotics.
Not sure of the track condition at Eagle Farm today, but the racing is of interest to the Novice Punter. The Unitab form data downloaded, with one minor glitch on Race 8 with a missing line in the header area and I am still not sure if it is the Form Data that is missing a line or my .CSV handling of the data which causes the problem, but easily enough fixed , and the Speed Ratings done.
