Sorry that I write in English, but I do not speak Swedish...

I have several questions to the experts:

1) I am working with the racing times. It is said, that auto start races are quicker than volt start races. But how much quicker is an auto start approximately? For example on 2.140 m distance?

2) It is important to me to know which tracks are the fastest. I read that Jägersro and Gävle are fast tracks. But is that true? And what about the others? Which tracks are slow?
Are there any statistics about it available?

3) How can I find out how quick a horse starts without watching every replay of it? Are there any statistics of the starting times or sectional times (as they are called in galop)?
I read that information about the horses positions were made by voltstart.se, but this website does not exist any more. Can I find this information somewhere else?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Greetings from Germany,
Swedish trotting is great stuff!!!

In handicapping these kind of races racing times is only a small factor. Why? There are so much tactics involved in swedish racing that time analysis focus oftentimes it will do you more harm than good.
