The horse Racing Database pages are a very important part of the whole equation. It contains vital info for all of you horse racing followers and betting people that do, or would like to do, their own handicapping and want to do race analysis in a professional manner.

The pages feature the w.f.a. scale for both flat horse racing and jumps horse racing. There is also a guide to all the U.K. race track types, the race track classification, the effect of the draw at the different tracks and the differences in class between the various types of race.

I have added a new page to the horse racing database pages that will provide visitors with all the latest Trainer, Jockey and combinations statistics. Regular visitors will know that this info was on the How to Make Money Horse Racing tips page but is so important and was staring to take up too much space. Therefore I have given it it's own web page.

new infoI have also added an up to date sire statistics section in an effort to provide as complete a service as possible for my visitors. This covers sire statistics for:-

  1. Sires-flat racing-click here
  2. Grandsires-click here

  4. All-weather sires-click here
  5. Sires of 2 year olds-click here
  6. Jumps sires-click here
  7. Average winning distance of a sires off-spring-click here

Part 3:-The effect of the draw at tracks in U.K.

It is impossible to be dogmatic about the effect of the draw on particular course, since several factors can affect which side is favoured. This course-by-course list sums up the generally regarded opinion of the draw factor at all thirty-four flat courses in Britain.

Ascot

No significant advantage, although low numbers are favoured on the straight course in soft going.

Ayr

Low numbers favoured in big fields on the straight course, especially when the going is soft.

Bath

Apparently little effect though the five-furlong course here is on a gradual left-hand bend which might be thought to favour low numbers.

Beverley

High numbers up to 8f-noticeably favoured in 5f races. It seems low favoured on soft ground.

Brighton

Low numbers favoured in sprint races but high numbers when the going is soft.

Carlisle

High numbers seem to have an advantage in races up to one mile.

Catterick

Over five furlongs low numbers appear to be favoured except when the ground is soft when high numbers seem to have an advantage. 0ver six and seven furlongs low numbers are favoured.

Chepstow

No marked advantage either side.

Chester

Low draw numbers appear to be favoured in sprints, but the crucial factor here is a quick break irrespective of the draw.

Doncaster

High numbers seem to be usually the best on the straight course, whereas low numbers used to have a noticeable advantage in big fields when the going is soft, but the effect is becoming increasingly difficult to predict.

Epsom Downs

High numbers are strongly favoured over five furlongs, a bit less so over six furlongs. Low numbers seem best from 7f to 10f.

Folkestone

Quite a significant advantage for high numbers in sprint races

Goodwood

Little effect although perhaps low numbers are best in sprints, though a fast start is equally important.

Hamilton

Middle to high numbers best in sprints, especially on soft ground.

Haydock Park

High numbers favoured in sprints, especially when the going is soft.

Kempton Park

On the sprint course a high number is advantageous when stalls are on the far side (especially in softer ground), a low number when the stalls are on the stands side. High numbers usually best on round course.

Leicester

Middle to high numbers favoured on the straight course.

Lingfield Park

Low numbers slightly favoured in sprints on the all-weather course: on the turf course high numbers appear to be favoured.

Musselburgh

High numbers favoured in races up to 8f.

Newbury

No significant advantage, but perhaps high numbers best in large fields, especially in very soft ground.

Newcastle

On the straight course horses drawn towards either rail seem to have an advantage when the going is normal, but low numbers are especially favoured on the straight course in soft/heavy ground.

Newmarket

Little significant advantage over any distance on either the Rowley Mile or the July Course.

Nottingham

High numbers favoured in sprint races when stalls on stands side, low numbers when stalls on far side.

Pontefract

Low numbers favoured in sprint races.

Redcar

Middle to high numbers favoured on the straight course.

Ripon

Low numbers appear favoured on the straight course except when the going is soft/heavy.

Salisbury

Low numbers tend to be favoured in sprint races on soft going.

Sandown Park

On the five-furlong course high numbers have an advantage when the ground is soft and when the stalls are placed on the far side; low numbers are favoured when the stalls are on the stands side.

Southwell

No advantage in straight five furlongs: low draw favoured over six and seven furlongs.

Thirsk

Significant advantage for high numbers on the straight course, more pronounced when the ground is fast. Low numbers best at 7f & 1m.

Warwick

Low numbers favoured in shorter races except when the going is soft, in which case the stands side tends to run faster.

Wexford

High numbers best.

Windsor

High numbers favoured in sprints.

Wolverhampton

Low numbers slightly favoured in sprints.

Yarmouth

High numbers slightly favoured on the straight course, especially in large fields.

York

Little effect either way. Perhaps low to middle numbers best on the straight track, especially when soft going prevails.
