Top Draw - RP help

[jbgb007uk]

Good morning all,

I was wondering if anybody has got a Racing Post today or knows how to find the topdraw stats on their website? I would like to see the draw stats for the two AW meetings today, but I cannot find them anywhere.

If I get them I will post up more views on todays racing that is not included in my blog.

Thanks Khartoum Kempton is interesting - the two selections I have made today have the best third of the draw. The first at Kempton was won by stall 7 and second was stall 11. (12ran)
I think if Figaro Flyer and Ever Cheerful get out well, and get the choice position they can go really close and @ the prices I put up earlier they are a good little bet.

Its interesting to see the draw over the short distances at Wolves is for low horses (stall 3 won the opener too), which once again will suit my selection Magic Glade in the 3.00.

Do people look at the draw on the AW? I think especially at these two tracks over sprint distances the draw is quite important.

I was half listening to a piece a couple of weeks back. Of course it would have helped if I could remember whether the track they were on about was Lingfield or Kempton , but, whichever it was, the guy was making the point that the track was markedly slower on the rail in the home straight than other parts of the track.

Now of course, depending on the distance of the race, any horse can find themselves on the rail on the run in and normally that would be an advantage. The guy wasn't saying that the lower draw horses should be ignored. I think what he was saying was.....

1. Horses that like to front run (and therefore, logic would suggest, will often end up on the rail) will be succeptable to challenges from behind from horses going wider.

2. If you spot a horse that doesn't necessarily win but puts up a good performance when on the rail at that track, the chances are that it's actually better than first glance suggests, having done well to battle against the bias of the ground near the rail.

Hope that all makes sense. Now all I need to do is find out which track it is

Mmm I am not sure on this one, I think it may be Lingfield. As I remember Lingfield does not suit front runners, who normally stick to the rail when turning into the home straight.
I think horses who bag the rail at Kempton and Wolverhampton over sprint distances will hold the edge, especially those who are ridden handy rather than setting the pace.

I think that looking at Lingfield, any horse who has front run there and got close to winning should go on to do well at the other two all weather tracks. Southwell will be different when it reopens.

Wolverhampton mate.

Well that surprises me Jamie cos my memory (such as it is) seems to tell me that I've seen a lot of my bets round the final turn in front and manage to stay on to win the race. So now I'm confused

[Jamie]

Would probably be because they've moved off the rails into the straight. It has been so over the past few weeks that nothing has been doing the business up the rails. It looks to be evening out a little now, so perhaps they've farrowed the track a little to even out the bias?

However it was definitley Wolverhampton they were on about.

Thanks mate
