How would I create a UDM in SQL that would identify a horse with a workout of a specific distance, say 3F, since the last race?

Thanks,

Mike

Never did the programming to enable that in a UDM. (And probably won't.)

That said, among the new TDx factors you'll find:

TDX_WOBRILL_BEST10
TDX_WOBRILL_COMP
TDX_WOBRILL_CX10

TDX_WODIST_BEST10
TDX_WODIST_COMP
TDX_WODIST_CX10

TDX_WOFAST_BEST10
TDX_WOFAST_COMP
TDX_WOFAST_CX10

TDX_WOFIT_BEST10
TDX_WOFIT_COMP
TDX_WOFIT_CX10

TDX_WOPCT_BEST10
TDX_WOPCT_COMP
TDX_WOPCT_CX10


TDX_WODIST_BEST10 is generated by an algorithm that applies a user defined time decay half life to the distance in yards for each of a horse's 10 most recent workouts. Factor numeric value for the work that scores out the highest among all 10 becomes that horse's TDX_WODIST_BEST10.

TDX_WODIST_COMP is a composite generated from the time decayed distance of a horse's 10 most recent works.

TDX_WODIST_CX10 while similar to the composite, is generated by a different scoring algorithm. The resulting factor value ends up being close to an average of distance worked while breaking ties.

The TDX_WODIST's are pretty good factor in their own right but they aren't in my current sql factor setup.

In my sql factor setup, I instead opted to go with:

TDX_WOFIT_BEST10
TDX_WOFIT_CX10
TDX_WOPCT_BEST10
TDX_WOPCT_CX10.

TDX_WOFIT is generated by an algorithm that scores both speed in fps (workout brilliance) of each work and work distance.

Imo, TDX_WOFIT is a bit stronger (more significant) than scoring distance alone.

TDX_WOPCT is generated by an algorithm that applies a user defined half life to time decay "rank" among number worked.

Also as an Fyi, I worked all of the above TDx WoData factors into my UPR and UserFactor groupnames.
