Chelmsford Draw Bias
flat races since 17 AprThere is a draw effect here we would rely on. Over 5f to 6f, low draws have the edge: 44.1% of the winners from 32.6% of the runners. Over 7f to a mile, low draws have the edge: 43.2% of the winners from 32.9% of the runners. Over 7f to a mile, high draws struggle: 18% of the winners from 32.9% of the runners.
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.
