Lingfield Draw Bias

flat races since 17 Apr

No part of the draw wins more than its share of runners by enough to rule out chance, at any trip. Over 738 races, where a horse is drawn here has mattered less than it is often given credit for.

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.

Lingfield Track Guide

Lingfield is best known as a winter all-weather flat course, with a Polytrack surface rather than turf.

It also stages flat and National Hunt races on turf.

The all-weather track was built on the inside of the turf course.
