True party!
I thought of that, but since the results have shown that the win% is only around 21%, it was fairly obvious that these are horses who never pass another horse.
I remember one that had 5 2s to its name , and true enough, came second again!
That's why I reasoned that place perc. alone (unless in a maiden race) is not a good enough filter if you bet for win. |
