I often see this 30% quoted. I'm interested to know what races it relates to. I process all races for a state (only done NSW and WA so far) in my system and get into the low 29% range but this includes all the backwater races which may only have a few runners. Based on that I would have thought someone who knows something about racing (I know buggar all about racing but a bit more about programming) would make 30%.
Maybe a bit harder on say all NSW Tab races though, where I'm a percent and a half down on the all up figure.
