The graphs below indicate what percentage of horses with a particular running style won over each particular distance.

The three different styles are horses that led, horses which were mid pack, and horses held up at the back.

The Pace Indicator (PI) is a quick representation of the analysis, and indicates the style of running which is most favourable over each particular distance. A PI of 2 would indicate that all winners led. A PI score of 0 would mean that all winners were held up. Obviously the actual figure is always somewhere in between depending on the pace bias which exists.

The Newmarket July course is very similar to the Rowley mile course in configuration, and like the Rowley Mile doesn’t appear to have any particular pace biases.

In terms of in-running betting the July Course at Newmarket had 5 In-Play losers at 1.01 from 697 cases (ranked 36th of 39 UK Flat): 47 In-Play losers at 1.10 or less from 766 cases (ranked 30th of 39 UK Flat):
