Is There A Barrier Draw Bias in the Australian Cup?
Surprisingly, barrier one has not produced a winner in more than 35 years. We do not believe this to be a bias though as barrier two has had four winners in that timeframe.
Based on the information available, there is no barrier draw bias for the Australian Cup.
