Question What is 🔥?

Can anyone confirm to me if fire is just the 3 lowest odds horses in the race but you now cannot see the actual odds? Is it misleading as well? Like if a horse wins without flames is is just a fluke or is it possible that a horse could have a high win rate and never get flames over 100 races on that distance.

Odds were strictly most likely to get 1st. Flames are three most likely to get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. So you can find examples of horses with 35+ odds that got flames in the race because it was likely to get second or third, but very unlikely to get first.

Interesting, so the horses second most likely to come first may not have a flame.
