for years a low draw was best on the straight track..but during the last year or so , horses that race nearside to middle (high draw) have been winning more than their share... does anyone know if there has been any maintenance changes to the track... seems like there is a track bias.. any theories ?
only way forward... yes ,that data is correct , but thats over many years... just saying ive noticed a difference this year, thats the point of the post... today is an example of that if you look at the two races run... and the same in recent meetings

In decent size fields say more than 8 runners hcps over the 5f there 2017...
19 races 9 winners (5.97 expected) from the first quarter of the draw
not sure you can say this year there is any negative bias there.

What you need @ southwell is to know how they harrow it.
If its only lightly harrowed well the draw bias is prominent. however you will find that because its actually beech sand it builds up on the far rail so when riding there it pays to know the harrow man .
He will tell you as the deeper it is means slower.
