- Barrier draw: Middle (5–9) wins the most races here — 7 of 14 (50.0% win share) — and beats its market price too (A/E 1.31).
- Pace: Settle position 1–3 wins the most races here — 6 of 14 (42.9% win share) — and beats its market price too (A/E 1.77).
- Market: Pop ($2–5) wins the most races here — 6 of 14 (42.9% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Data note: settling position is unknown for 74 runners in this sample, which dilutes the pace numbers.
