From the current edition of Owner & Breeder mag: the effect of the draw is considered an important factor in certain races when weighing up a horse's prospects. However, do you know the process used to determine stalls draws for Flat races? Sean Magee unravelled the mystery of the draw and how places are allocated in a back issue of The Racing Post. His article explaining the formula is the best explanation around and can be found at http://www.racingpost.com, in the News Archive section. Search under 'numbers game' for Magee's article, which was published in the newspaper on September 15, 2006.
