Hi Star,

I looked at the opening price for Melbourne Saturday meetings throughout December.

Results were:-

Opening Fav...23.5%
2nd Fav.........20.6%
3rd Fav.........26.5%
4th Fav...........6.7%
5th Fav.........12.5%

My proviso is if they are equal I take the horse closest to TAB #1 first.

Obviously these are not final order of favouritism but it does show an abnormal distribution (as we would expect it).
