One thing that is often over looked when studying form is the draw. Which stall a horse is drawn in can, on some courses, massively influence that particular horses chance of winning. I have analysed the effect of the draw at some courses. Here is the data in an easy to use form, so that the effect of the draw can help you pick more winners
The draw can have a significant effect on the outcome of races at certain courses. Here are seven ways you can use the unique characteristics of certain UK racecourses to pick more winners.
1. Chester is one of the tightest tracks in England. Look at fancied horses drawn 1, 2 and 3 in all distances. Horses with a low (inside) draw have a massive advantage in 5f races at Chester. The course is circular and horses starting on the inside have less distance to run and are less likely to meet trouble in running.
2. Thirsk. Look for fancied horses drawn in the highest 3 traps in sprint races. There is a significant advantage for high numbers on the straight course, more pronounced when the ground is fast. Low numbers best at 7f & 1m.
3. Beverley. High numbers up to 8 furlongs-noticeably favoured in 5f races. Perhaps less well-known is that the high draw advantage is also prominent over seven furlongs without having such a significant impact on the odds available and so offers some good value betting opportunities.
4. Pontefract. Look for fancied horses drawn low numbers in sprint races.
5. Lingfield. Low numbers slightly favoured in sprints on the all-weather course. On the turf course high numbers appear to be favoured.
6. Epsom Downs. High numbers are strongly favoured over five furlongs.
7. Windsor. On the figure of eight course, high numbers have a distinct advantage for sprint races on good or fast going.
All of these tracks are specialist tracks so a previous course win is also wort looking out for. Combine this with a favourable draw and you are onto a winner.
