Arlington Race 8

[Bob Cochran]

The term "chaos race" can mean many things, and of course, is subjective.

I consider chaos in racing and other venues as a condition which has instability
and has a low probability of predicting an orderly outcome or result when
comparing the variants.

example: route turf race consisting of more than half the field with no turf
or route experience.

A field of horses with many lines, no wins , and also few running lines which
qualify as useable pacelines .

All races in which all of horses fail to meet the top conditions for which
the race was written.

These are only a few examples, but the main point being, it's a race wherein no logical conclusion can be reached using standard handicapping procedures.

There is no "one" answer which defines a chaos race.
Take your pick.

Hope this helps,
Bob Cochran
