The backfitters out there should ask themselves the question, how can Joe Public get it right time in time out in there probs / actual results, yet when they run their back fitted systems, they fall into a hole at some later stage and they have wild fluctuations/variations.

My response was a method in how to have very little variation thru the data spaces, plain and simple.
Case closed.

Re Box 6

I can post some stats re the #6 box by justing adding one more variable you can identify plenty of dogs to lay.
As I keep a national database for greyhound racing i can provide an example.

One wouldn't use a blanket statement and say #6 is the worst box at Cranbourne 520m
These are the avg finish times and the avg split times fro the above distance.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
31.168 31.075 31.115 31.134 31.107 30.938 31.025 31.109

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
5.624 5.620 5.626 5.641 5.604 5.588 5.607 5.625

One would ask why? This is where the physical artifact of the track takes over.
