Only it's not. and repeating it over and over like a mantra doesn't make it so. Neptune Collonges ran off a fair mark based on his runs that season. The new system of handicapping for the National has been on the go for 10 years+. So it's actually 1 winner from 10% of runners over 10 years............

Which I think is what folk refer to as average. Under the old system, there would probably have been no winners from that 10%, which would mean those runners were actually disadvantaged.
