What the pattern suggests
There really isn't much data to go on here. The data available suggests a high draw is favoured on the turf at Southwell over six furlongs, but small sample sizes mean this should be treated with some caution.
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 chart covers horses aged three and older in handicaps from 2024–2025.
Stall-numbering note: Stalls at Southwell's turf course are always positioned on the inside of the track.

How to use the bias
- Pace: identify where the likely early leaders are drawn and which runners can secure a good position.
- Going: consider whether the inside or outside is riding faster on the day.
- Field size: draw effects are often more meaningful when runners are crowded into larger fields.
- Recent evidence: rail movements, watering and weather can alter the effective bias.
Conclusion
Their really is to little data to go on here. The data available suggests a high draw is favoured on the Turf at Southwell over 6 furlongs, but beware small sample sizes!!
