So what is a race where some of the runners have no previous form? I thought they were called "maidens" but I noticed sometime the name of the race does not contain that word. Are they still referred to as "maidens"?

What do you call a race where some of the runners only have 1 or 2 previous starts?

I have been identifying in my testing these races all as "Maidens" and when filtering them out or selecting them only, the change in results can be staggering.

And you thought this was a joke thread didn't you? Maybe it is!
