Thanks.

Im sure management wont have a problem with the posting of this link :P

Is there another website where can I get that info for provincial and country tracks?

Thanks.

Thanks, Om Sharntee.

Its just what I'm looking for.

I'm testing an idea that the shorter the straight then the lesser the importance of the barrier.

I know there are other factors that can affect barriers but after more than a hundred races I'm showing a good profit by Laying horses that are well in the market (one horse per race) and with a good barrier draw. However, it seems the tracks that have a straight of 400 metres or longer have reduced the strike rate and profit. But its much too early to tell.

Conversely, I've also looked at the opposite - horses that are also well in the market but with a poor barrier draw. They don't have a bad strike rate and I think laying them would have produced a loss. Again, its still too early to tell.
