Abstract/Contents: | "As the soil water content of a turf racetrack used for horse racing increases, typical race times increase after a certain point. A penetrometer reading can be related to these increased times with a considerable degree of accuracy. This paper develops a model based on a hyperbolic function to predict race times under a variety of situations." |
