Speed Figures - Compare Horses

In the previous post I covered the basics of Speed Figures. In this post I'm going to take it to the next level by using RaceQuest to compare three horses. After looking at the basic speed figures, I decided to see how Socialsaul, Johannesburg Smile and Smokin Hero compare to each other speed-wise. In order to change views, I select the second option from the pull down menu on the Speed Figures Screen:

Let's look at the results together in the following image (just click on the image for a larger view):

It is very easy for me to see that Socialsaul, Johannesburg Smile and Smokin Hero have all recently run competitive speed figures - their most recent race is the rightmost race. I can also see at a glance that Socialsaul has only raced five times, Johannesburg Smile has been very consistent over time and Smokin Hero last four races have almost identical speed figures (100, 102, 104 & 104).

I'm going to end my entry today with a image of what happens when I hover the speed figure icons from three races past:

Three races past, Socialsaul had a 102 speed figure on dirt at 1 mile 91 days ago, Johannesburg Smile had a 103 speed figure on dirt at 1 mile 97 days ago and Smokin Hero had a 102 speed figure on dirt at 6 furlongs 117 days ago. Which horse do you think would be my pick?

Pretty cool, don't you think?
