I beleive the stats show in small fields 8 & less the percentage of favs. getting up would not be greater than 35%.

Look at dog races, their stats reveil that favs. have a 30% strike rate even though there is only 7-8 runners.

I know I`m comparing a Watermelon with a Strawberry here, it`s just used to highlight a statistic.
