A couple years ago, a friend who bets nothing but NYRA MSW/MCL races (and I thought I had problems) looked at 5 years of Inner maiden races.
He came up with FTS runners winning far below expected. I believe he used ratios of races won by FTS runners vs the percentage of total starters represented by the FTS.
He looked at MCLs and MSWs going both short and long. They all underperformed vs expected. I remember FTS going long in either class type was much worse and that MSWs short was better.
Jim, I'm curious about the Tampa stats... For example, the MCLs 18/141 ... 12.7%: Does this represent FTS runners winning 18 of 141 MCL races or does it mean that 18 out of 141 MCL FTS runners won races?

its runners not races. 181 first timers went to the gate, 18 won.
if we look at it by races then its
18/96 18.75% mcl FTS winners at Tampa
7/39 17.9% msw FTS winners at Tampa
and
2/61 3.3% mcl FTS at AQU
2/48 4.2% msw FTS at AQU
thats an incredible difference.
