What the pattern suggests

The historical results show a consistent advantage for horses drawn high, particularly in larger fields. Low draws have won less often than expected, suggesting that a high stall has generally been the most favourable position over this trip.

How to read the chart

Each mark represents a winning stall number plotted against the total number of runners. This reveals whether winners repeatedly cluster towards the low, middle or high side.

How to use the bias

  • Pace: identify where the likely early leaders are drawn.
  • Going: consider whether the fastest strip is likely to remain near the stands rail.
  • Field size: positional advantages often become more meaningful in larger fields.
  • Recent evidence: weather, rail movements and maintenance can change how the straight rides.
