Windsor 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 224 races, where a horse is drawn here has mattered less than it is often given credit for.

5f to 6f161 races
Low 26.4%
Middle 32.4%
High 41.2%
7f to a mile63 races
Low 35.6%

High 23.7%

On good or faster ground

5f to 6f148 races
Low 28.9%
Middle 32.6%
High 38.5%

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.

Windsor Track Guide

Windsor is one of only two figure-of-eight courses in the UK, though the full circuit is never used.

In races of a mile, 1m 2f and 1m 3f 99y the runners turn only right-handed.

The six-furlong course is almost straight.
