One Month Down Another Eleven to Go

It doesn’t take a bookmaker to know that one divided by twelve is just over 8 percent. The corollary that’s more interesting is the remaining 91.7 percent. With the first month – it’s one of the leanest – of the 2021-22 Black Type Premiership completed, the 28 stakes races run to date in Australia actually constitute just 4.62% of the seasons 605 stakes events, leaving another 577 to be run. Nonetheless, as T20 cricket adequately demonstrates, runs on the board are worth a potential two in the batting shed.
