I have been browsing through the Racing Post website - it's actually quite frightening when you see the information base off which they run their racing. To say nothing of all the betting 'specials' on offer. Somewhat in contrast to good old RSA where the bigger the event the tighter the pricing. Some of those guys over there stop just short of an automatic refund if your horse doesn't win!
The press certainly turns racing in all its formats into a statistician's wet dream with comparative stats on absolutely everything. And not a manky model to be seen...hmmmmmmmmmm.
Makes one wonder why it is s-o-o-o difficult to find winners at Cheltenham. But then no stat in the world can predict if your fancy ( and race leader) will make it over the last jump or survive the lung busting final run in.
