The numbers I caught were W2W.

I got those stats from TSTV.com's handicapping section, which those numbers come from Bris.

I can't find the Drugs-like email I put together, the next 5f race on the turf, I'll post what they have.

Half mile call, so like I said, near the end of the race -- but if a winner is listed as "speed" in the Arlington Turf Stats, then it was a speed horse up top who held on the whole way, so it's really distinction without a difference.

So the stats above are for leaders at the half-mile call, near the end of the race, but they aren't that significantly higher than the "speed" horse numbers, so the point is essentially the same, that speed horses, however you classify them, win about a third of turf sprints, any way you look at it as far as I can tell from the visual "turf stats" and the Polycapping databse.
