Mark,

The only filter that I've used is in first up runs, they must have raced prior (no first starters) just to keep things even.

FIRST UP
Selections: 2,987
Winners: 241
Strike Rate: 8.07%
POT: -24.48%
Ave Div: $9.36

SECOND UP
Selections: 3,006
Winners: 240
Strike Rate: 7.98%
POT: -37.67%
Ave Div: $7.81

THIRD UP
Selections: 2,655
Winners: 237
Strike Rate: 8.93%
POT: -36.94%
Ave Div: $7.06

FOURTH UP
Selections: 2,217
Winners: 240
Strike Rate: 10.83%
POT: -10.11%
Ave Div: $8.30

FIFTH UP
Selections: 1,783
Winners: 197
Strike Rate: 11.05%
POT:11.07%****
Ave Div: $10.05

Interesting stuff.

Mark is right, second up horses are no worse statistically (miniscule difference) on the actual strike rate.
However, horses second and third up are by far the worst POT.
Fifth up was a complete surprise!

Fifth up results include a 50/1 winner, an 80/1 winner, and a 217/1 winner!!!

Watch this gem get marketed by you know who now :lol:
