Since the launch of this site ten years ago, our statistics have remained consistent. The race winner is in the top three selections 65% of the time, 16,842/25,718 and the top choice first or second 46% of the time, 12,015/25,718. The algorithm is very good at zeroing in on live runners with regularity. You will often find the triple and super in our picks.
