3: 14/120
4: 17/120

8: 8/103
9: 3/87
10: 3/66
11: 2/46
12: 3/21

So the outside 4 posts were a combined 11 for 220 (5%). Once again... not GP bad but certainly a disadvantage.
If you're including mile races the stats might be skewed. TP has a really short run to the turn at a mile. If you threw out the mile races you might find the outside posts doing better.

Like most tracks -- they don't run many races at 8.5f and above. Tough to get a statistically significant stat from such a small sample.
