before villa bleds races yesterday i looked up a book that i bought a few years ago which studied numbers of days since last start.

villa bled came up well on weights but at $2.80 it also had been 35 days since last start .
in the survey of 1550 races over 1400 metres not one horse that had 35 days off had won over 1400 metres.


false favorite ????? uninformed punters or speculators buying money.
just goes to show statistics do tell a story.
