I just went through and had a look.
Yarra Valley had the most.
Race1: Trotter who was already in a SS handicap race. Handicapping can be flawed as I said before.
Race2: A 3yo in a C0. Making a 3yo start staggered back in its first crack at a C0 would be a bit stiff.
Race3: With the two 3yo wins you get before taking open age penalty I think its unfair to make it harder on 3yos to win they only get 1 year to take advantage of that concession. The best horse has to win.
Race4: You read this horses figure form and its kinda like 'how is a handicapper going to be able to handicap this horse so its off a staggered start'
Race7: Got beat anyway
