What the pattern suggests
Winners are spread very evenly across the draw over six furlongs. The historical evidence gives little reason to favour low, middle or high stalls simply because of their starting position.
How to read the chart
Each mark represents a winning stall number plotted against the total number of runners. This shows whether winners repeatedly cluster towards the low, middle or high side of the draw.
The historical source chart covers horses aged three and older in handicaps from 2024–2025.
Stall-numbering note: Stall 1 is positioned on the inside.
