Course Bias by Track

Understand track tendencies so you can anticipate who’s favoured by the layout.

How we measure bias

  • Segment by course & distance with sufficient sample size
  • Adjust for going, field size, draw and pace shape
  • Estimate lane and run-style effects
  • Translate to practical upgrades/downgrades

Short run-ups to tight turns exaggerate inside advantages.

Finishing incline

Stiff finishes expose weak late energy distributions.

AW lanes

Faster/slow middle lanes can appear on synthetic surfaces.

Glossary
