* — * PERCENTAGE OF WINNING FAVORITES IN THE PAST TWO YEARS * — _ 4. Experience leaches that, year in and year oat, aliout forty lier cent, of favorites win. There is somei variation from this mark, something less one year and something more another, but massing a number of c ii-eeutive years will bring about the result named. In 1914 the l oroentage fell below the normal mark while in 1915 it was exactly attained. This does not include a number of minor tracks, but only Ihose of Importance in the public mind. Some of the track-. Belmont lark for instance, annually have a high average iu this matter, while others, the admirably conducted Kentucky tracks, for another instance generally are below the forty per cent. mark. These track peculiarities arc worth consideration by students of racing problems.
