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

Early bends
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
- Lane Effect
- Performance variance associated with track sections or lanes.
- Configuration
- Bend radius, straight length, cambers, and finish profile.
FAQs
