π Royal Ascot 2023: It’s a draw…
Bloody roasty toasty outside right now π₯΅π₯΅π₯΅
Still it does mean we are getting the sort of ground condition you’d expect at this time of the year… which is always a bonus on the analysis and punting front…
And some lovely quick (and not changing!) ground will do just fine for next week’s ROYAL ASCOT action…
Five days of top quality Group races and ultra-competitive big field handicaps… lovely stuff!
I’ve just released a FREE NTF Guide to members of the FREE NTF Mailing List, looking at the impact the draw has on a selection of races run over the round course at Royal Ascot…

The guide contains information such as the below…

Royal Ascot 2023 – 3.05 Kensington Palace Stakes – Wed 21st June
Draw/Pace Biasβ¦
Only been two previous renewals of this but similar races run over the round mile at Ascot (since 2006), specifically those with fields of 12+, do give us some interesting draw splits to factor in for the KENSINGTON PALACE STAKESβ¦
Draw Segment Splits (18 racesβ¦ Ascot 1m | round track | fields of 12 or more)Β
18 winners – 59 Win & Place HorsesΒ
Q1 – 2 Winners (61% below exp) | 13 Win & PlaceΒ
Q2 – 4 Winners (36% below exp) | 16 Win & PlaceΒ
Q3 – 6 Winners (8% above exp) | 13 Win & PlaceΒ
Q4 – 6 Winners (14% above exp) | 17 Win & Place
So the top half of the draw (Q3 & Q4) looks the place to be in these races, or at least itβs an advantage to be drawn there…
Q1 struggles to make a major impact…
There are actually some further interesting figures when you split the draw in half…
Bottom Half of the draw – 6 winners from 137 runners | -Β£84.75 BFLSP | 47% below expΒ
Top Half of the draw – 12 winners from 127 runners | +Β£80.90 BFLSP | 11% above expΒ
The bottom half of the draw are OVER-BET and the top half of the draw are UNDER-BET…
