Is There Any Barrier Draw Bias in the Australian Guineas?
Drawing a single-digit barrier is often a good starting point to winning the Australian Guineas.
Based on the most successful barriers, drawing one of the seven inside barriers looks to be slightly advantageous to a horse’s chances of capturing the three-year-old classic race.
Barriers two and seven have provided the most winners in the race since its inception in 1986.
