Fastest race times at each distance?

[eightbo]

I'm looking to only run a piece of automation in the last 3 minutes of UK/IRE races.

1. Is there a source for the fastest times recorded at each distance?
2. Can I just use a blanket distance time or are there substantial differences between times recorded at different courses (over the same distance)?

There is a link to a spreadsheet with standard times in the 2nd post of this thread

There can be a variation between courses but generally, the biggest difference is simply how a race is run so those standard times do a decent job of averaging everything out

Great resource thank you Dallas. Those were a bit specific for my purpose.

For those looking in future, here are some broader times from 2011 courtesy of Cranthetrader:

Here's some standard formulas someone posted on another forum, haven't checked them against Cranthetraders but the guy's always been reliable. Obviously going has a big effect on times especially when the going starts to get heavy like they will soon.

Flat: Time(s) = 14.057 * furlongs - 13.908
Chase: Time(s) = 15.394 * furlongs - 16.574
Hurdle: Time(s) = 14.549 * furlongs - 10.663

Thanks for the additional formula sb. Yeah the numbers should be decent for blanket estimates. A lot of manual traders have gone by these times to guide their in-play trading.

Have thrown them into a spreadsheet btw if anyone wants:

It depends a lot on the ground though.

i'll have a copy of the spreadsheet if it's available.

Thanks

Here's a sheet with winning times. Course, distance and going. Open the google sheet and go to file, download Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) then you can adjust the pivot table.
