Is there a draw advantage at Newmarket?

Newmarket Draw Guide Middle to high draws seemed at an advantage that day in the 25 runner race with the first six runners home drawn 13, 14, 18, 21, 20 and 22.

Do draw bias drivers work?

The clear benefit here is that the movement of the CG and the weight creates a larger area of the face that launches shots with draw spin.

Is there a draw bias in Kempton over 5f?

Over 5f there is a strong draw bias with the 5 furlong course at Kempton probably the tightest 5 furlong course in the country and therefore not surprisingly it is a massive advantage to be drawn low.

Is the 1m 6f at York a fair track?

The 1m 6f distance starts with a two-furlong chute at the end of the back straight before they join the main course. York has always been considered to be a fair track and when I was studying draw bias ‘24/7’ back in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s the mile trip offered a decent low bias but, other than that, there was little to report.

When does a draw bias occur in horse racing?

A draw bias exists if there is a distinct advantage to horses drawn in certain stall positions. This usually happens if the surface the horses run on is different on one part of the course compared to another. It can also happen if the shape of the course provides a shorter route to the winning post (such as on the inside of a bend).
