Sandown 5 Furlongs 6 yards

This chart shows horse racing results for horses aged 3 years or older only.
The results are plotted winning stall number against the number of runners.
The resultant chart shows the Draw Advantage Pattern produced by the winning stall numbers.

---

Results on good or better going are shown in black.
Results on good to soft or softer going are shown in red.

*Please note as from 30th March 2011 Stall numbering on right handed courses was switched, so that the inside stall is always stall number 1. However the results have been plotted in the chart below as if the stall numbering has always been his way at Sandown. So for instance if there was a winner from stall 12 of 12 prior to 2011, this would be plotted below as stall 1 of 12.

Conclusions

The 5 furlongs at Sandown is run on a separate uphill track in the middle of the course. It has long been said that low numbers have a massive advantage, but the stats don't completely back this up. It seems to vary from meeting to meeting, and when it is soft it definately seems to be an advantage to be drawn low.
