i don't really want the answer. never mind.
K my point was the uneducated public usually includes a false fav either at the start or the last position. Jst wondered what the stats were. In my experience usually w/e's u get rewarded for prices on the start instead of cheering on all the chalks. Blockhead is that you?

my point was don't stuff your bets into a box. they don't always fit.

ignoring a favorite in the first leg makes as much sense as always including one.

if you want to hurt my feelings, call me oracle.

and the whole point of my post is if u don't have a strong opinion against a fav in a subsequent race why start with a fav? Pass the race.....
