Salisbury Draw Bias
flat races since 17 AprThere is a draw effect here we would rely on. Over 7f to a mile, low draws struggle: 17% of the winners from 33.3% of the runners.
On good or faster ground: no trip here has the 60 races we need yet, so we do not show it. This fills in as the record grows.
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.
