Horse racing
Horse racing is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.
- Background
In three recent races at Rosetta Park, the results have been:
Race 1
| Pos | Horse | Weight | Dist | Sex |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A | 9.00 | 0.0 | Colt |
| 2 | B | 8.06 | 2.0 | Filly |
| 3 | C | 9.04 | 1.5 | Colt |
Time 1 minute 36.0 seconds
Race 2
| Pos | Horse | Weight | Dist | Sex |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | D | 8.10 | 0.0 | Filly |
| 2 | E | 9.03 | 1.0 | Colt |
| 3 | F | 9.07 | 3.0 | Colt |
(F was slowly away and lost 2 lengths at the finish as a result)
Time 1 minute 36.4 seconds
Race 3
| Pos | Horse | Weight | Dist | Sex |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | G | 8.04 | 0.0 | Colt |
| 2 | H | 8.10 | 1.5 | Colt |
| 3 | I | 9.05 | 0.5 | Filly |
Time 1 minute 35.8 seconds
It is assumed that:
1. Weights carried are expressed in stones and pounds (traditional in US and UK racing) where 1 stone equals 14 pounds.
2. The distances are the actual distances between horses at the finish of the race.
3. All races are run at 1 mile in similar going and weather conditions and the time shown is the time taken by the winner to run the race.
4. 2 pounds slows a horse down by 1 length at the finish.
5. 1 second is equivalent to 5 lengths at the finish.
- Task
All 9 of these horses, plus a further horse J, are due to compete against each other in Race 4 at Rosetta Park again over 1 mile and in similar conditions to the earlier races. Colts will carry 9.00 and fillies 8.11.
Suppose that:
1. Horse B has been moving well on the galops and her trainer thinks she has improved 4 pounds since her last outing.
2. Horse C has had a setback in training and his trainer expects him to perform 4 pounds below his best.
3. Horse H is being ridden by the champion jockey which is expected to improve his performance by 3 pounds compared to what it would otherwise have been.
4. Horse J, a filly, has never run before but her performance on the galops suggests she can run 1 mile in 1 minute 35.8 seconds when carrying 8.11.
Other things being equal (which they seldom are in actual horse racing!) what would you expect the full result of Race 4 to be including the time of the winner?
