Hi All,
Well I am glad the question has stirred some good debate.
I did a little homework last night and came up with an interesting statistic that requires further investigation.
Taking Mark's idea off on a tangent, I went through two years of past winner data to find that approximately 78% of winners were both in the TOP 5 API and TOP 5 Place Percentage.
It seems to me at this stage that class may be distinguished by a horse's ability to consistently win 'good prize money'. This is something Mark alluded too.
Food for thought anyway. I'm off to do some more investigating.
Cheers,
Luckyboy

that statement cancels itself out a horse that wins more races is going to have the highest prizemoney....maybe if they stick with lower class races there might be a difference......but these days there are so many bonus schemes i think bonuses should be left out of prize money won |
