Newmarket Rowley Mile 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 103 races, where a horse is drawn here has mattered less than it is often given credit for.

7f to a mile103 races
Low 38.5%
Middle 30.2%
High 31.2%

On good or faster ground

7f to a mile99 races
Low 39.1%
Middle 30.4%
High 30.4%

Not enough races yet on good or faster ground over 5f to 6f, 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.
