- Pace: Settle position 1–3 and Settle position 7–10 win the most races here — 3 of 32 each (9.4% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Market: Mid ($5–10) wins the most races here — 14 of 32 (43.8% win share); no band meaningfully beats its market price.
- Data note: settling position is unknown for 244 runners in this sample, which dilutes the pace numbers.
