Goodwood Draw Guide
On the straight course (5/6f) middle to high draws have an advantage in big fields, but the bias is not as strong as it used to be. The big sprint at the course the Stewards Cup used to be totally dominated by high draws, but this has not been the case in the last two years.
Over 7f there used to be a very strong high draw bias but Goodwood spent most of 2008 moving the far rail meaning that the fastest strip of ground was not used. Indeed, in 2008, only two of the fifteen 7f races with 10+ runners were won by horses from double figure draws. Compare this with 2007 when double figure draws won 9 of the 20 races.
Over 1m it has been a similar story although the one race where a high draw bias continues to be strong is in the Totesport mile (formerly known as the Golden Mile). The race is run on the Friday of the Glorious 5 day meeting and the far rail is pushed back out to its old position. In 2008 the first five horses home were drawn 20, 19, 18, 17 and 16 (18 runners). With the race having 2 non runners it can be seen that the five highest drawn horses filled the first five positions.
Over 1m1f or more there is no draw bias.
