The barrier stats on the HRA site re Tracks are interesting but they don’t break down the barriers/distances unfortunately. When it comes to stats re punting, we are way behind the thoroughbreds. The best example I have found is the NZ Stridemaster site re race and individual horse analysis. Sulky App is interesting and gives a lot of information but somethings like their gate speed analysis seem to me to be questionable eg a slow horse from barrier one may lead at a smaller track because the corner comes up quicker etc. An argument could be mounted that little has changed in 50 years in this area of harness racing as far as stats go. Hopefully drivers wearing something like a GPS and the public having access to the data isn't far away.
Apologies as I am digressing.
