Been out of dogs the last few years, Macca is right, you have to treat each race and the dogs in them on their merits, year after year though the stats come up with box 1 winning more races than any other, but i would back a dog from ANY box if it is drawn to get the right run, in saying that i never had much luck when my dogs drew 4 or 5 , but won heaps from the 1 & 8 .
