I can't believe i am doing this!
Looking at things to include in a Track Profile, i ran some queries re Post Position.
Eureka: Post position 3 returns a net profit for 6 furlongs and for 1 mile 1/16.
This applies to this year and to the past 5 years. It was just below breakeven in 2003.
The post position returns winners at about what would be expected by the number of runners.
Requiring odds of >10-1 just cuts the number of bets, but returns similar results. Odds below 2-1 are a slight hinderance on 'your' returns
use at your own risk
