I realised this morning, while in the shower, that the average ratings of winners I gave previously could be misleading.

Nearly all horses start their preparations over the shorter distances. These runners will have low scores for CF, Tim and DLR which will bring the average of all winners down. So I've added the average ratings for all runners at each distance range so this can be compared to the winners.

Now it appears as there is no correlation between DLR and distance.

It's like the statistic that (about) 75% of winners have run in the last 21 days when 75% of all runners have run in the last 21 days.
