Right, so I'm new to this horsey business and I've been looking at a lot of some of the recent AW racing and for the life of me I can't get my head around the starting stalls, where they're positioned on the course and what this means for the horse's chances of winning. I've got a chart showing the profitable starting stalls for backing and laying in courses in Britain but without knowing how to apply them to a race, they're not much good.
What does H2 or L1 mean? Depending on where the stalls are do you count up or down? What does this mean if the course is right-handed as oppose to the more common left-handed ones? Did the way the stalls are numbered not change at the start of this season? I have the charts in front of me if anyone is kind enough to apply them to a certain race.

Don't know what you are referring to by H2 or L1 but this may help you.
REVISED STALLS NUMBERING TO TAKE EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY 30TH MARCH 2011
Numbering to change at courses classified as right-handed
Palpable non-runner rule also to take effect on same date
Other starting initiatives to come into force on same date
From Wednesday, 30th March 2011, starting stalls at racecourses that have been classified as right-handed tracks will be numbered in ascending order from right to left if you look through the stalls from behind. Previously, starting stalls at all tracks were numbered from left to right from behind the stalls.
The change in practice will be effective for all races, including those run on a straight course, at these racecourses. The Clerk of the Course at each of these courses will continue to adopt their current practices in where they position the starting stalls on the track for races run over a straight course. Key publications which make available draw statistics have been consulted and advise that they will have amended their existing statistics so as they will maintain their accuracy.
Consultation has also taken place with the Racecourse Association, National Trainers Federation and Professional Jockeys Association, who have all expressed their support for this change in the numbering of the starting stalls.
The courses affected by this change are:
Ascot – first meeting Wednesday 27th April
Beverley – first meeting Wednesday 6th April
Carlisle – first meeting Monday 23rd May
Folkestone – first meeting Monday 4th April
Goodwood – first meeting Saturday 30th April
Hamilton – first meeting Sunday 1st May
Kempton – first meeting Saturday 2nd April
Leicester – first meeting Thursday 31st March
Musselburgh – first meeting Friday 1st April
Newmarket Rowley Mile and July Courses – first meeting Wednesday 13th April (Rowley Mile)
Ripon – first meeting Thursday 7th April
Salisbury – first meeting Sunday 1st May
Sandown – first meeting Saturday 23rd April
Windsor– first meeting Monday 4th April

I believe the H2 L1 etc refers to the best draws ie High Draw 2 Low Draw 1 all you need to do is look at the key to see what the highest and lowest scores are is 1 the best or worst.
The position of the stools can be very important depending on the going and the way the course drains!
The position of stools can definately be important far as drains are concerned.

i can recommend a course of stewardesses sir,
they tend to be a little more edgy, but generally come with well stocked drinks cabinets and the added bonus of free flights
