Favs win approx. 30% of all races
2nd Favs win approx. 20% of all races
3rd Favs win approx. 16% of all races
4th Favs win approx. 14% of all races

So the first four favourites win approx. 80% of all races


TAB no.1 wins about 15% of the time
TAB no.2 wins about 13% of the time
TAB no.3 wins about 11% of the time
TAB no.4 wins about 10% of the time

...7 out of 10 races are won by the first 6 runners

ALSO...on average, barriers 1-6 win 60% of all races


Horses who won, that ran 1st last start: 25%
Horses who won, that ran 2nd last start: 16%
Horses who won, that ran 3rd last start: 12%
Horses who won, that ran 4th last start: 9%

i.e. 60% of races are won by horse that ran 1st-4th last start
