Example 4: 24 horses in field 800m 400m Place Margin
2 2 1 0
I am trying to come up with a formula which will rate each horses finishing so I can apply it to the rest of my program. To date, this is the only part of my program which is open to subjective input - something I am trying to eliminate.
Are there any mathematicians here who may come up witht he formula needed so i can apply it to my program?

Hi!
I am sure I could help but I maybe missing something, could you please make it a bit clearer?
Like what the 800 and 400m mean? sectional positions? if so, should'nt be two of them?
Cheers
