na - insufficient runners for meaningful result

 

To provide some further context to these results I have calculated the percentage of distance range sub-sets of the four researched distance ranges.

    >2500m4835% >2500m68347%

Note: The relative high percentage for the 4yo+ horses in the >2500m category is due to jumping races being included.

Some take-aways from this analysis:

  • For 4yo and older the win strike rates are similar across all locations.
  • For 3yo's win strikes rates are higher in provincial and country racing.
  • Win strike rates are generally higher for 3yo gallopers compared to those of 4yo+.
