Catterick Draw Bias

flat races since 17 Apr

There is a draw effect here we would rely on. Over 5f to 6f, low draws have the edge: 58.5% of the winners from 33.6% of the runners. Over 5f to 6f, middle draws struggle: 17.1% of the winners from 32.8% of the runners.

On good or faster ground

5f to 6f68 races
Low 54.2%▲ edge
Middle 20.3%
High 25.4%

Not enough races yet on good or faster ground over 7f to a mile, 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.
