Barriers 5–8 have the highest observed win rate in this grouped sample: 223 wins from 2,086 runners (10.69%). This is an historical association, not a forecast or an isolated causal barrier effect. The groups differ in field-size exposure and can contain different classes, ages and track conditions.
Stored race-level going only, without substituting a meeting's headline rating. These are scenario subsets of the same sample, not additional races. Rows without a stored race rating are unclassified; subsets smaller than 30 runners are omitted.

The Everest TrackBro insights
Win rate is wins divided by starters, not the share of all race winners. Every first-place runner counts as a full win, including dead heats. Missing barriers: 0. No runner-level records are published in this graph.
Actual versus Expected is shown only for the app-eligible subset: complete confirmed fields, usable SP for every starter and a total implied probability between 1.00 and 1.50. Expected wins are race-normalised before grouping; eligible sample size can differ from the barrier chart.
| Published barrier | Eligible runners | Actual wins | Expected wins | A2E |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barriers 1–4 | 2153 | 206 | 221.32 | 0.93 |
| Barriers 5–8 | 2060 | 222 | 203.17 | 1.09 |
| Barriers 9+ | 1626 | 124 | 127.50 | 0.97 |
