Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures Calculate the classified allowance pars at the track’s regularly-run distances, both final-time pars and six furlong pace pars.

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures Calculate the track’s late-speed pars: final times minus six-furlong times.

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures Construct the track’s turf-figure chart: A. Assign a base figure of 100 to each late-speed par

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures For each length faster (or slower) than the late-speed pars, adjust the base figure of 100 for the various final fractions, as follows: 1/4M 1/5 = 1.6 5/16M 1/5 = 2.0 3/8M 1/5 = 2.4

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures Calculate the horse’s late speed or final fractions, from the pre-stretch call to the wire, modified by the horse’s lengths gained (or lost) - Prefer good races, not poor - Find appropriate turf figures on figure charts

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures 5. Adjust for an unusually slow six-furlong pace

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures 6. Adjust for a faster than par six-furlong pace for frontrunners and pressers within one length of the leader at the six-furlong call; i.e add two points for each length faster than the six-furlong par

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures 7. Compare figures at today’s exact distance, or at a closely related distance; i.e. within one-sixteenth of a mile

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures 8. Best bets: the high figure horses, provided the turf figures were earned at today’s class level or higher

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures Note: Unless track variants have been extreme, ignore them. If variants have been large, assign half the variant to six-furlong time, and adjust actual times before calculating horse’s late speed or final fractions.

Figure Handicapping On The TurfProcedures: 

Figure Handicapping On The Turf Procedures * Do not use track variants to adjust actual times on soft and yielding turf
