- Data note: settling position is unknown for 37 runners in this sample, which dilutes the pace numbers.
Rail effect
Grouping similar rail positions (+3m ±1m) covers only 5 runnings — too small to lean on.
- For the record: Settle position 4–6 accounted for 2 of the 5 winners (2 from 12 runners, A/E 1.82) in that limited data — colour, not signal; the overall numbers above carry more weight.
