One of the classic findings (and I need to reiterate this was about HORSES that hit the board, NOT just winners) was the variability of the final fractions and DISMISSING races when the early pace of race was slow (THAT always gives the 3rd fraction a relative BOOST)

SP numbers varied FAR MORE OFTEN than a horse's early proclivities.
