From memory an effect became significant at around 12mph (headwind). The dataset was very noisy though, for example the wind speed and direction data were "trianguhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31536881/at-what-speed-can-wind-make-a-difference?post_id=557384015#557384015I looked at the effect of race times vs wind speed some years ago for straight tracks.
