Draw bias - OHR

**broadsword** · **11-06-11**, **10:47 AM**

Does anyone know a good site that has an accurate and easy to read account of draw bias's ? Of all the things I can never seem to get a grip of in flat racing I'd say this is the biggest.

There are obvious ones of course and fairly straight forward if horses are racing around a bend then obviously an inside kind of draw gives an advantage of sorts.

However I'm more looking at straight course sprints.There are quite a few who will side with the arguement of being where the pace is on these kind of tracks but that dosen't hold too much water with me.

There will be a couple of examples of what I'm talking about today.Having looked at the races at york yesterday most of which were run down the centre but spread quite wide across the track but after watching a couple of the races I can't help but feel if horses had came down the near side (High Drawn) I think they'd have held an advantage.If I'm right (which is highly doubtful as my judgement on such things is terrible ) Then I was looking at the 3.15 as quite a few of the market principles are drawn very low which would give you a great chance of picking up some value on higher drawn horses.I think If I remember correctly the york meeting at the end of last summer showed the same bias can't remember the name of the meeting but I remeber Wooton Basset winning on it and if I also remember correctly my goolies were well and truly done that week at it and I seem to remember Jamie having a bloodbath of his own there.

Has anyone had a look at York and thought which side is likely to hold sway or wether you believe they'll come down the centre once more? Or would anyone be as bold to say there won't be a bias and I'm talking bollocks (not for the first time)

Sorry that was supposed to be a knew thread I've now soiled Sir henrys knighthood for which I apologise to all concerned
