The stat simply shows the great value of leading at the first call.
I think if you polled jockeys, trainers, and other bettors - they would greatly underestimate the value of leading at the first call.
20,564 horses led by 2 to 2.75 lengths - of those 34.5% won at an impossible ROI of $3.85 ... when a horse is easily capable of establishing such an advantage ... it is a mistake not to.
