Default Testing Barrier positions

Need help to confirm my findings.

Someone mentioned that certain tracks/distances/bPos combos are profitable in their own right.

I tested all tracks/distances/bpositions separately up-to BP 12 and found nothing of the sort.

If anyone found a track/distance/barrier position combination showing promise, doesn't have to win, just losing a little, without any other filters, and willing to let me know I'd be grateful and check it again and compare with my results in case I made a mistake, unlikely, but anything is possible.

No need for the distance or BP just the track name.

In return I'd be happy to offer my findings for all tacks.
Knowing the % advantage of different BP can tip the balance of choosing one runner over the other when all other things are equal.

I tested all races I have results for, since 2000 and despite over 11 years, some minor provincial and country tracks have few races once they are broken down by distance. Not surprising really some only have a few meetings a year.

If anyone interested good, if not, also good.
Thank you

At this stage gallops only but can test box returns for a year or so for dogs, but they are pretty much available anyway.
Thanks

Also came up dry many years ago when investigating track/barrier relationships, so I just go with - the ranker the barrier posy, the longer the price, makes it harder but doesn't prevent them for winning on occasion.

Happy Valley
Inside six gates 1000m and 1200m.
Don't know if data is easily available or not.

Also, rail placement could have an effect on your results on some tracks.

There are some interesting problems when analysing this over such a large timeframe. Some tracks have completely been rebuilt in that time. Some have moved the finishing post which alters the starting position.

These changes can have a big affect on the barrier bias in that it may move the starting position closer or further from the first corner. The further the starting stalls are from the first corner the less affect barriers have.

These sorts of things can be frustrating at times.
