Bath Draw Bias
✅ When breaking Bath down into trips, you can look at which stall and trip combination has produced the best LSP. That would be stall 5 over a trip of 1m3½f, which has, over the last five years, produced an LSP of +70.73.
❌ The stall with the worst loss at Bath in the win market when breaking it down to race trips is stall 6 over a trip of 5½f, backing all runners in this stall over that trip over the past five years would have returned a loss of -104.00.
Here we have the draw bias for Bath taken into consideration in races with ten or more runners. We will break down the figures by race trips. Draws can be much more important in shorter trips, where runners do not have time to find their position during the race, meaning the draw is probably more important than in races over longer distances.
- Sprints (5f to 7½f)
- Mile (1m to 1m1½f)
- Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)
The following table shows a breakdown of 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 the lowest stall number to the highest.
