Draw Bias (Flat Racing) Table
Draw bias plays a major role in flat racing, especially on turning tracks or sprint trips where starting position can strongly influence the outcome. Understanding which stalls perform best at each course and distance gives bettors a genuine edge, helping to identify overpriced runners, vulnerable favourites and strong handicapping angles. Below you’ll find a complete, easy-to-use Draw Bias Explorer for every major UK and Irish racecourse, highlighting the most significant historical patterns, winning stalls, and notable trends to guide your race analysis and betting decisions.
How to Use the Draw Bias Table
Draw bias can have a major impact on sprint races. Lower-numbered stalls generally represent inside draws, while higher numbers represent wider positions.
Use this table to quickly identify:
- Courses with a strong low or high draw advantage
- Distances where stall position matters most
- Races where bias changes depending on field size
