SUMMARY
How to produce 'time variants' at the dogs
SPEED 'RATES' SOLVE CLASS
Time, as I have pointed out many times before in P.P.M., is what greyhound racing is all about. It is the one crucial factor that underpins the entire greyhound racing form package.
A dog's speed over a certain distance is an essential element in 'rating' greyhounds. Sometimes, this calls for extensive computer software to generate results. I've discovered a way in which the average dog follower can compare times between various meetings.
It's a form of the 'track variant' factor and I'm sure you will find it most interesting. You need to keep records of your favourite track. I operate at Wentworth Park, but for the purposes of this article I will assume a fictitious track, with a theoretical sprint distance of 520m and a track record of, say, 30.00s Oust as an example).

SPEED
Speed-it's the main ingredient in greyhound racing. Sometimes, I feel, we place too much emphasis on speed and times, but I know there are many greyhound followers who claim it is the 'one and only' reliable factor.So, can we actually use times to help us in the search for dog winners? Yes, we can, but it's going to take time, patience and lots of study. Those punters prepared to put in the work may well benefit in the long run from achieving a better-than-average strike rate of winners.
