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.
The source sample covers horses aged three and older in handicaps from 2024 - 2026.

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.
