5 Furlongs to a Mile, low numbers have an advantage. Kempton is the only right-handed All-Weather track; the bias makes for interesting reading. Kempton is oval-shaped with two loops, known as the inner and outer loops.
On the inner loop, which is used for 5-furlong races, there is a shorter run-in after the final turn; the outer loop is used for 6-furlong races and has a much longer run-in.
A quality horse can win from higher stall numbers, but it is harder for them; your Kempton Park tips should always consider the draw.
Kempton is just one of six all-weather tracks in the UK. If you want tips from others or today's racing, then head over to the main racing predictions page.
Kempton Draw Bias

Here we have the draw bias for Kempton 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)
- Long Distance (1m6f or further)
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.
