by mjj000 on 16 Jun at 23:17
Dosage Profile of 2013 Coventry Stakes contenders in comparison to previous winners of the race
Dosage Profile (Brilliant - Intermediate - Classic - Solid - Professional)
The dosage profile is a series of five numbers which shows how many points this horse has inherited from their sires in each category. The Brilliant and Intermediate category relate to a horses speed, whilst the Classic and Solid categories relate to stamina
Dosage Index - Calculates a ratio of the horses speed to its stamina The general rule is the higher the number, the speedier the horse. Eg. 2.0 means the horse has twice as much speed as stamina
Centre of Distribution - The COD is another indicator of speed and stamina. A positive COD indicates a preference for speed, whereas a negative COD indicates he they have more stamina points

BMW International Open Preview

Manassero back to his best after tough US Open
After the excitement of the US Open the European Tour heads to Germany...the BMW International Open celebrates its 25th year as a tour event.
The Course & Winners
After a year at Gut Larchenhof the event returns to its spiritual home of Golfclub Munchen Eichenreid which has hosted every year except last year and from 94-96. So the fact Danny Willett won last year is probably a little irrelevant in terms of course form but before that the winners were:

Wimbledon 2013 Mens Singles - Your Complete Preview

YOUR ULTIMATE GUIDE TO WIMBLEDON 2013 - MENS
With the qualifiers already underway this week at SW19 here is your ultimate preview of the 127th Wimbledon Championship. I’ve taken a good few weeks out to assess all the top contenders to the crown on both sides of the draw from both the ATP and WTA with a complete statistical breakdown, highlighting what to look out for and where there may be some interesting angles to look for as you bet your way through the coming fortnight – whatever the weather! The draw is yet to be finalised as I write this and we’re expecting the LTA to stick to its unique tradition of selecting the seedings based upon world rankings and the last 24 months’ worth of grass court performance. That gives us the likely scenario of arguably the most ‘in-form’..

2013 Open Golf Championship - Do stats point to an English success?
by drobgod on 18 Jun at 13:58
When Graeme McDowell won the 2010 US Open it seemed to open the floodgates for Northern Irish golfers to follow in his wake and within just over two years they'd mopped up another three, courtesy of Rory McIlroy (twice) and Darren Clarke.
When Rory McIlroy won the 2011 US Open he mentioned how seeing Graeme McDowell win his major had inspired him because he knew without any disrespect to Graeme, that if he could do it then so could I. This then helped Darren Clarke to lift the claret jug in 2011 as he knew both Graeme and Rory had looked up to him over the years and they had managed to cross the finish line in front, so why not him?
When Justin Rose completed his fine victory at Merion on Sunday evening and I witnessed the delight..
