Wolverhampton All Weather Racetrack
5F, 6F
All Weather Racing Expert Simon Mapletoft published his opinion that a low draw(1-5) in 5-6 furlong sprint races may well be beneficial opposed to the wider drawn runners.
7F
No discernable draw bias worth noting. The best racing pitch is definately close to the rail, as you don't want to be caught 4 wide rounding the bends, but most jockeys know that, therefore no statistical draw bias is prevalent.
8F & Above
8 furlongs and above there appears to be little evidence to suggest there is a draw bias.
