 I think they should give barrel horses a speed index like race horses.  They would have to be consistent sized patterns for the venue.  Thoughts?

Isn't that pretty much what we already have with the 4D system?

Location: Texas!		They tried doing that standardizing certain patterns to be used across the country. There was a lot of interest but I don’t think it ever took off.

In a way, but say a horse ran 1D in the futurity but was out of the money vs a 2D horse that always lands in the money.  It seems we measure in terms of $$ earned rather than a specific index unless you are willing to search for results online or pull an equistat.  It would make it simpler once we implement betting into a race.  Anybody want in on that side of the industry??

Keep in mind ground types and depths are different just as they are at racetracks. You would have to take that into account as well.

The Tanner Time system did assign a speed index but it was not recognized anywhere and the only way you got any information was to pay for it. People realized that a speed index wasn't really very important.
