No it's not automatically disadvantaged.
Depends on the track and distance, but most importantly the racing style of the other runners versus the runner in question.
But the stats may show different because they incorporate those not disadvantaged and those disadvantaged.
It's important to take note of how many races were not disadvantaged and the strike rate, versus those disadvantage and the strike rate.
It's the same with most scenarios, only punters are not good at splitting data in general, only the pros.
