Couldn't let this one go without some more thinking - initial premise : Perhaps the openers or pre-post markets aren't as good as we think they are? Decided to construct a small sample set to compare the accuracy of openers(OP), pre-post(PP), Starting Price on BF(SP) and 6 other sets of ratings(RS1-6) from today's racing at Headquarters.
Results as follows...
FLEMINGTON
.....W2 W4
PP ..25 38
OP ..50 63
SP ..63 63
RS1 50 88
RS2 50 75
RS3 38 75
RS4 38 75
RS5 63 75
RS6 75 75
Where;
W4 = % of winners from top 4
W2 = % of winners from top 2
A small sample no doubt. A bit surprising, nevertheless.
