Comparative Strike-Rates of First-Call Leaders
My (subjective) bias notes on the two ovals contend that Mahoning's surface more often plays against early speed than does Mountaineer's (main) track. And that, to a lesser extent, the inner portion of the Mahoning strip more often amounts to a disadvantage.
I wonder if some resourceful poster might pull up applicable stats that speak to my observations. Could, for instance, someone post what percentage of first-call leaders go on to win, say, 6-furlong and 5 1/2 furlong races at each of the two tracks, and perhaps throw in some impact-values for posts 1 & 2 at those commonly carded sprint distances?
