Races around a mile and a half horses go both left and right around turns, it’s a bit stop-start, and just when a horse seems to have an advantage others swallow him/her up. Windsor as a course is tough to read, and we would advise a cautious approach when evaluating the form of Windsor races for future races at other tracks.

Evening racing which Windsor specializes in gives longer study time for handicappers, this will hopefully lead to more winning pieces of horse racing advice. 

When breaking Windsor down into trips you can look at which stall and trip combination has produced the best LSP, that would be stall 4 over a trip of 5f which has, over the last five years produced an LSP of +111.00.

Here we have the draw bias for Windsor 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.
