At the trip
Otaki has staged 16 races at 2100m in our sample — a sample worth weighting.
- Barrier draw: Inside (1–4) wins the most races here — 9 of 16 (56.2% win share); Wide (10+) underperforms its market price — A/E 0.00 (0 from 36).
- Pace: no workable sample in this category.
- Market: Mid ($5–10) wins the most races here — 6 of 16 (37.5% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Data note: settling position is unknown for 153 runners in this sample, which dilutes the pace numbers.
Rail effect
Grouping similar rail positions (+5m ±1m) covers only 5 runnings — too small to lean on.
- For the record: Middle (5–9) accounted for 3 of the 5 winners (3 from 18 runners, A/E 1.41) in that limited data — colour, not signal; the overall numbers above carry more weight.
