Brighton Draw Bias
flat races since 17 AprNo part of the draw wins more than its share of runners by enough to rule out chance, at any trip. Over 175 races, where a horse is drawn here has mattered less than it is often given credit for.
On good or faster ground
Not enough races yet on good or faster ground over 9f to 11f, 1m 4f and further.
On good to soft or softer ground: no trip here has the 60 races we need yet, so we do not show it. This fills in as the record grows.
Stalls are split into low, middle and high thirds within each race. Each bar is that third's share of the winners and the tick is its share of the runners, so a bar past its tick is winning more than its share. We only call a bias when the gap is at least 15% of that share and two standard deviations clear of chance.
Brighton Track Guide
Brighton is a left-handed, flat-only horseshoe of one and a half miles, so it is not a complete circuit.
The finishing straight is about four furlongs, with a steep descent followed by a slightly less steep climb to the winning post.
It sits on chalk downland, where the going is nearly always good.
