Some take-aways from this analysis:

  • 1st and 2nd fav days last run horses back in 1-21 days slightly outperform on metro and provincial tracks.
  • 1st fav fresh horses (back after 60 or more days) do well; equal or better when compared to other categories.
  • The results for 3rd and 4th favourites similar across all categories.
  • Generally preferable to have a last start winner returning within 28 days for 1st and 2nd favourites.
