The stats here & over seas show that 1st starter Favs have the highest SR of all Favs.
33-36%

The next is Maiden races.
30-32%

The worst is Handicaps.
24-28%

They all show a level stakes loss if using TABs because of the 18.5% take which includes the over rounds.

Weird isn't it , the more disclosed form , the worse they perform which goes against what all form pundits proclaim in any rules that may arise, in the form of a system where they may say target the Fav , except delete all Maiden races & races where the Fav is having its first start.

It appears another Urban myth has been busted.
