have a look here

draw only matters at sprint distances

The draw still has en effect at the longer distance as long as there is a big field. Unless you drop in or burn up early energy then its very difficult to get an early sit near the rail. From then on in you're going to be at a disadvantage the whole way round.

recent results at 10f show this to be the case. Not as obvious as at 5f but foolish to ignore.

It would need a good one drawn low to do well here in big fields.

eg. York.

I fancy Tajneed or Indian Trail. How many times does Dandy's fave beat his longer priced ones? Or do I just notice it more when that happens?

very naive and ill-informed to presume draw effect only important in sprint races

Thanks, Anfieldkings. Interesting to see how the effect still persists even in small fields.

sorry, my mistake :)

is the 5f course straight or does it have a bend?

Straight near as dammit, i'd say

You mug, duncan idaho.

Have you never seen racing at Beverley?

Straight near as dammit, i'd say

??? not so.

An oval right-handed course of a mile and three furlongs, with a stiff uphill finish of two and a half furlongs. The five-furlong course has a slight bend at half-way which puts the ball very much in the court of those drawn high. Due to the short run-in it is not wise to try and come from off the pace.

Been on the Westwood many a time....slightest of bends imo

The fact that they all want to come up the middle these days does suggest that the halcyon days of Beverley punting are a thing of the past.
