This is a subject which has been debated previously but with recent happenings maybe it is time to revisit this controversial subject.
The cynical and suspicious amongst us may believe that happenings are "red hot!"
Whilst this may/may not be the case let's have a rational look at why the percentage of favourites winning in this category of races is much less than the accepted ratio of winning favourites overall(approx 30-34%).
Also, the apparent frequency of the longshot of the field getting up.
I look forward to any thoughts/suggestions as we attempt to unravel this mystery.

Cheers.
