The Astounding stat that lived up to its promise!

Another Wolverhampton meeting and further endorsement that a high draw carries sway. The stats provided yesterday in my article ‘Driven to enter the ATR Tipping Challenge’ was further endorsed by the following results:

5:45 12 runners (9)

6:20 7 runners (7)

6:50 11 runners (6)

7:20 12 runners (11)

7:50 12 runners (8)

8:20 10 runners (9)

8:50 11 runners (9)

9:20 12 runners (4)

Watching the evening races on re-run it was interesting to see that ALL winners without exception raced at least 2 wide and came wide down the home straight. This might well have been the catalyst behind the beating of our sole selection of the evening, 4-1 Kicking The Can.

The exception to the rule which has seen 118 winners coming from highest half of the draw, only 16 winners at the lower end was in the finale. Dazeen drawn 4 in a 12 runner event appear to be plotting a course to the inside before being switched violently to the outside as the gap to the inside was closed.

With field sizes of 13, 11, 10, 7, 13, 11, 9 and 8 this evening I can only think we will be seeing more of the same.
