That was point exactly when I started this string. It's amazing what you can do with data and draw conclusions from it. Right, Wrong, or indifferent intnetioned or un-intentioned one will draw conclusions if time after time you get a similar result, but each instance is a case study in and of itself. It takes dicipline to not get sucked into data trends and draw absolute conclusions when in the end it's just data, and no trend exists at all.
Same goes for Track Bias. No Bias exists if even one horse ran well on the so called biased part of the track (ie inside of the track on derby day for example) because quite a few did run well and some even won on the rail. It may not have been ideal, but it was not an absolute either.
