Some winners up the stand side were up there throughout but others were well back and got a run though. I would expect jockeys to block anyone gambling on a stands side run.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31876831/raoyal-ascot-draw?post_id=564803623#564803623Draw bias is part of the reason but jockey reaction is another.

I'd say when they aren't racing it's more straight forward. In an ideal world there would be no irrigation during the meeting, but in this weather, not feasible.https://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31876831/raoyal-ascot-draw?post_id=564803295#564803295My theory though is that it's the timing of the watering, during the meeting itself.
