Hamilton Racing Tips

Hamilton Racecourse Map

How to get the best Hamilton tips

There is a tendency for runners to stick to the far rail when the ground is soft or heavy. This may give low numbers an advantage in sprints under those conditions. The proximity of the turns after the start of 8 & 9-furlong races makes getting a good position important, and a low draw may help.

With the steep descent into the dip and a climb for the final 3f, horses running prominently will do well unless going for home too soon, as they can become very tired in the last furlong or so. Watch out for Hamilton track specialists here due to the nature of the course.

Use the 'Add' to betslip option to add any picks you wish to bet on to your betslip. You can head over to the main racing picks page and add picks from other courses, too.

Hamilton Draw Bias

✅ If you want the most profitable stall at Hamilton, then you need to look at races over 6f and focus on stall 1, as this has produced an LSP of +207.86 over the last five years.

❌ Backing stall 5 at Hamilton over a trip of 6f is the most unsuccessful stall and trip combination at Hamilton, returning an LSP of -77.07 over the last five years.

Here we have the draw bias for Hamilton 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.
