Well like I said Party, I was only playing Devils Advocate. No more than that.

As for Chrome's figures, well they are just that. They prove nothing that he says they prove because no average price was given for his rides [SP favorite or not].
Beadmans SP favorite rides for the past 12mths. would be a lot lower than average SP prices for all favorites because his mounts are pounded on the tote and so are Hawke runners. Doubly so If Beadman is on one.

I'd like to see anyone name all Beadman's starts over the next 12 months that start SP favorite. Some sure but certainly not most. It would come down to guessing.

It's one thing to trot out past [incomplete for what they claim to back up]
figures and say they back up future profit of some idea as Chrome regularly does, it's completely another to know what they will be in advance. Nobody can accurately back any Jockies future SP favorite rides.

Anyhow Party, it will be interesting to see if this one goes peer shape [as these things often do here] :-)
