What is the fastest winning time at Chester?

Over 1m2f 70y, the most-run trip, the fastest winning time since 2015 is 2:05.24 by Passenger (USA) on 10 May 2024. The distance table gives the fastest time for every race type and trip with 5 or more races.

What is a typical winning time at Chester?

The median winning time over 1m2f 70y at Chester is 2:13.78 from 177 races. Half the winners were quicker and half slower, so the median is a steadier guide than the fastest time.

How much does the going change winning times at Chester?

On the most-run turf Flat trip at Chester, the median soft-ground winner took 6.2 seconds longer than on good ground. The going table shows the median for each going band with 5 or more races.

Which winners have been fastest at Chester this season?

The season table lists the quickest winner so far this season at each Chester trip, with the gap to the fastest time since 2015 and to the median. A negative figure against the median means quicker than a typical winner.

How are the Chester winning times measured?

Each time is the official winning time from the result, grouped by race type and exact advertised distance since 2015. Times more than 10 per cent faster than the median for the same trip are treated as recording errors and left out.

Questions people ask

Is this the Chester course record?

The fastest times here cover races since 1 January 2015, so they are the quickest winners of the last decade rather than the all-time course records. Over 1m2f 70y the quickest since 2015 is 2:05.24, from 177 races.

Why are some Chester distances listed more than once?

Rows use the exact advertised distance, so a trip that changes, for example after a rail movement or a remeasurement, gets a separate row with its own times. Comparing a time with the right row avoids flattering or harsh comparisons.

What does median winning time mean?

The median is the middle winning time when every Chester race over a trip is lined up from fastest to slowest. A winner quicker than the median ran faster than a typical winner over that course and distance.

How often are the Chester winning times updated?

The tables refresh every morning after the previous day's results, so a new fastest time appears the day after it is set. The next meeting table fills in as soon as the next Chester card is declared.
