Latest post bias
End of the year and I'm updating my program tables. some might be interested in this.
2008 Post bias expressed as percent difference from expected number of wins for each post
Similar to Trackmaster Post bias numbers for last 30 days. (Some tracks are missing, couldn't find their data)
Data used was from Track web site, which usually gives Winning percentage for each post.
For example, Balmoral track gives Post 4... Starts..1955, Wins... 241 or (12.3%), but it's more helpful to know if this number is above or below the expected. In this case it is the expected number. Post 5 however shows 19% more wins than expected by chance alone. (Numbers for outside posts have too few starts to mean anything)
