Online BRAT Calculator updated to include All Dirt & Turf Types

[Wc Lee]

I have updated the Online BRAT Calculator so it can be used for Dirt Sprinter, Dirt Miler, Dirt Router, Turf Sprinter, Turf Miler and Turf Router.

The Calculator does not do All Weather horses because there are too few All Weather horses for me to generate the formulas necessary for BRAT. I may add horses from more SIM years at a later time to allow All Weather horses to be included in the tool. For now, the Calculator only works for Dirt and Turf horses.

You can read the Feature News article that was just posted to find out how to use the Calculator.

Please pay special attention to the article section that talks about using BSFs from SIM Years prior to Y44.

The formulas for the Dirt Sprinter, Turf Sprinter and Dirt Miler are described in my Feature News articles. I will publish the formulas for the Turf Miler, Dirt Router and Turf Router in later weeks.

Let me know if you find any bugs in the calculator.

How do you account for unraced mares who haven’t even had a workout either? Just curious

BRAT requires at least 1 workout and/or race. The more races the better, since the BSF will be more accurate. The BSF will also increase if the Gallop improves, so most times the BSF is better than the workout time.

If you have no workout or race, you can try estimating a BSF based upon the Gallop, but that is pure guesswork.
