Hi All,

Well I am glad the question has stirred some good debate.

I did a little homework last night and came up with an interesting statistic that requires further investigation.

Taking Mark's idea off on a tangent, I went through two years of past winner data to find that approximately 78% of winners were both in the TOP 5 API and TOP 5 Place Percentage.

It seems to me at this stage that class may be distinguished by a horse's ability to consistently win 'good prize money'. This is something Mark alluded too.

Food for thought anyway. I'm off to do some more investigating.


Cheers,
Luckyboy
