I noticed on a thread about Longshots that often had a very long run of outs. 96 on one I thought. It was for horses over $20.

A contributor said he put through his data bank the 26 individual winners and 24 came from barrier 1 to 7.

For those with data banks is it possible to run these questions through to see if that % still stands up.

His main criteria was Saturday Metro races and some class filters but for this exercise I dont think that is important.

1. Barrier draw for winners over $20 and number of starters in race.

and to balance things up, if possible but not necessarily as individuals assesments because of sheer numbers the break up of barrier draws for horses under $20.

Also it would be important to somehow mention field size in statistics because in races with 7 or eight starters the results are going to be biased.
