Hi Inny,

I have kept a database for several years and I have found that a Pareto principle applies for approximately 80% of race winners. These are the three statistics that drive the principle:

1. Rated within 4 points of the Top rated Zipform (Sportsman) horse:
2. Top 6 in Pre Post Odds (Friday paper);
3. Finished in the first 5 last start.

A word of caution, these rules apply to race fields of more than 8 starters, no 2YO, maidens, steeples or hurdles and Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Saturday metro only.

Hope you find this of help.
