Yes my namesake was a gun at Doomben, but hopeless every where else - even at EF which is next door he never won there.

I agree that Distance is more important - my stats say it is - but there are exceptions to every rule.

The deal with Track stats is often class. ie provincial horse that has failed in the city - thus maybe 0/3 at the track.

Also certain tracks favour frontrunners, others backmarkers - Difficult for backmarkers to win on tight twisting tracks.

Track/distance comes into play a lot with Flemo 1200m - you need a strong horse to win there - often 1400m types win 1200m races there.
