Mitch, you bring up a very interesting thought,
That 95% of winners within the top 5 total energy that is being mentioned,
The figure of 95% is a little misleading.
What Doc said and which is often misquoted, Is that only when a select group of testers, entered predictive pacelines and here is the key, Doc personally monitored the paceline selections.

Secondly the races that were included in the testing, were also strictly monitored.
The group of testers only included a small group of highly skilled users. This group was selected by Doc, They had to show a keen ability to follow directions consistently.
Lastly, in 1000 races the winner IF the winner was included as a final contender mix of 5 horses, the winner was in the top 5 total energy 95%
of the time
So basically IF the testers followed Doc's strict guidelines the winner of the race was amongst the top 5 total energy.
It is a little bit of the saying what came first the chicken or the egg.
The test showed that the top 5 total energy horses won almost all the races
when no more than 5 or ties contenders were entered after hides
