Hamilton Racing Tips

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.

Here we have the draw bias for Hamilton 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.
