If you want the most profitable stall at Cork then you need to look at races over 7f and focus on stall 5 as this has produced an LSP of +17.35 over the last five years. When breaking Cork down into trips then you can look at which stall and trip combination has produced the worst LSP, that would be stall 7 over a trip of 7f which has, over the last five years produced an LSP of -57.80.

Here we have the draw bias for Cork taken into consideration races with ten or more runners, we will break down the figures by race distance, draws can be much more important over the shorter trips in which runners do not have time to find their position during the race meaning the draw is probably more important than the races over longer distances.

• Sprints (5f to 7½f)
• Mile (1m to 1m1½f)
• Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)

The following table shows a breakdown over a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example in a twelve-runner race would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12), the positions will always be lowest stall number to highest.
