Data Base - MatchUp Question

Query:

Two or three early horses in a race with first call times within 1/5 second of each other.

Race projection other than early.

I'm curious how often the early horse wins anyway. (Average odds would be interesting too.)

I'm sure there might be some here with data base capabilities or records of such information.

I could make a "ballpark" guess, but that's all it would be.

Obviously, the early horses are going to win "some" percentage of the time when there is other matching speed in the race, but I'm curious what that might be broken down for sprint/route, turf, poly, overall, etc. There might even be a big difference between maiden and claimers, allowance and stakes races.

I'm not talking about using Quirin speed points, but actual first call times.

Thanks to anyone that can help.

[It's times like these that I wish I had data base skills. Poof! Query the data base, and I have my answer(s).]

[Oh, my ballpark guess? 7-15%~]
