Sheesh....I'm sure that's what the last 3 posters said??....but so that it really sinks in:
5 horse race..1st fave 41%.......5th fave 6%
6 horse race..1st fave 38%.......6th fave 3%
7 horse race..1st fave 37%.......7th fave 2%
8 horse race..1st fave 35%.......8th fave 1%
14 horse race.1st fave 29%......14th fave 0%*
* No such thing as zero % strike rate in racing (rounded down from less than half of 1%) |
