That theory of topweight in a Welter is another myth to be busted.
517 Topweights in Welters
Return $380.60
Loss 136.40 units or 26.38% LOT
There were only two in my database running over exactly 2400m and both lost.
The one's that started at greater than $6.00 on the tote were 278 for a return of $162.20 and loss of 115.80 or 41.65% LOT
NB: Flying Welters not included
MYTH BUSTED
I've long held the suspicion that bookmakers started these myths and sent them around the rings shouting "look there's another one that just won" to perpetuate it.
So far I've busted:
Topweight in a Welter
Horses For Courses
Avoid horses second up
Avoid wet tracks (did you know Fast is the very worst going to make a profit?)
The impact of weight
The impact of time
Track Record breakers
Odds On Look On
To name just a few.
Take all these myths and lay 'em like there's no tomorrow and win big.
