Poor Starts
Wonder if this is something any of the database people could look up, but after witnessing what I thought were some pretty poor moves by starters lately, it got me thinking how much a gate crew really does affect the start depending on jurisdiction. Is there any chance of someone doing a review to see what percentage of horses are involved in poor starts by track, I guess using result charts as an objective measure when it says "start good for all but..."
I'm curious if bigger name tracks have a better record at this, or if all locations are going to be in the same ballpark & horses are just randomly bad actors & it's part of the game everywhere to the same degree.
