Starting Prices

Below you will find the Box’n’Whisker details for the winning horses Starting Price (SP) for certain race distances and other criteria. I personally find this information useful for two circumstances,

  • Seeing what category my selection for a race falls in

  • Selecting what runners I may include in a quadrella.

I keep records for the Maiden races that have a current prize money range of 32,500 to 75,000 AUD ran on country/provincial tracks.

Box’n’Whisker charts display the five-number summary of the races contested.

This summary includes five key data points:

  • The largest number (longest priced winner)

  • The third quartile (75% mark of the prices)

  • The middle number (median or 50% mark of the prices)

  • The first quartile (25% mark of the prices)

  • The smallest number (shortest priced winner)
