Will the draws make a difference in the sprints at Scottsville on Saturday? I think so

The middle to high draws seems to have a slight advantage in the sprints at Scottsville

Very seldom do we see a start to finish win on the outside although i do have a slight recollection of Marcus succeeding once (maiden race?) and Piere going close on a visiting filly racing the colts

Also rare to see are early backmarkers winning on the inside.That might have nothing to do with draw bias yet if there's a two or three horse duel happening furthest from us my money won't be on the inside horse winning

More speculative then fact is that either the rise in ground in the latter stages is less pronounced on the outside or that the climb flattens a bit less closer to the inside rail

The course seems to be pretty fair up the straight now. A few years back you couldn't win if you were drawn on the outside.

Just checking the draws again, now I think high draws are best in big fields

But How can it be possible that the horses that run 1, 2, 3 and 5th in the Computaform Sprint are drawn 19, 16, 18 and 17th?
