Flat races at Ripon with 8 or more runners and a full draw, since 14 April 2016. Runners are split into low, middle and high thirds by stall order among the horses that ran.

Top-3 % is the share of runners in that third who finished in the first three, against the chance rate. Going groups: fast is good to firm or firmer, soft is good to soft, yielding, soft and heavy. Bias rating uses a chi-square test of winners by third against chance (2 degrees of freedom): Strong means p below 0.01 from 100 or more races, Moderate p below 0.05, Weak or none p of 0.05 or more, and Not enough data fewer than 40 races. Rows with fewer than 20 races are hidden. Source: RaceWatch results database.

Is there a draw bias at Ripon?

Over 6f, the most-run trip at Ripon, the draw rates weak or none from 264 races. It stands out most over 5f, where the middle third has won 41.1% against 34.3% by chance (rated weak or none).

Which side has done best in the Great St Wilfrid?

The Great St Wilfrid is a 6f handicap on Ripon's straight course, so the 6f row and the biggest field size band in the table are the closest guides. The page does not track single races.

How do going and field size change the draw at Ripon?

The bias matrix gives every Ripon trip rows for fast, good and soft ground and for 8 to 11, 12 to 15 and 16 or more runners, each with its own rating. Read the race count before the percentages.

Is the Ripon draw bias still current?

The recency table sets each trip's record since 2016 beside the last three seasons, from 2024. Over 6f the check reads no clear lean in either period, from 71 recent races.

How is the bias rating worked out?

Winners from each draw third are tested against the share chance would give them, using a chi-square test. Strong means p below 0.01 from 100 or more races, moderate p below 0.05, and fewer than 40 races is not enough data.

Questions people ask

Is there a draw bias at Ripon?

Over 6f, the most-run trip at Ripon, the draw rates weak or none, with low draws winning 29.5% of 264 races against 29.8% by chance. It stands out most over 5f, where the middle third has won 41.1% against 34.3% (rated weak or none).

Which stall is best at Ripon over 5f?

Stall 6 has the best top-three record over 5f at Ripon since 2016, placing in 40.8% of 103 runs against 30.6% by chance. Single stalls swing on small samples, so the stall grid lists every stall with 50 or more runs at each trip.

Is a low or high draw better at Ripon?

Across all distances since 2016, low draws have won 28.7% of Ripon races against 29.3% by chance, and high draws 36.4% against 36.5%. The answer changes by trip, so check the bias matrix row for the race distance.

Does the draw matter over Ripon's round course mile?

Ripon's mile races run round the right-handed bend, and the 1m row in the distance table shows each third against chance. The row has fewer races than the straight 6f, so it moves more.

How often are the Ripon draw figures updated?

The figures are rebuilt every night from the RaceWatch results database, and the latest results included are from 15 October 2026. The bias matrix, ratings and stall grid use races since 2016, and the detailed thirds tables further down use races since 2019.
