Is There A Draw Bias in the Australian Oaks?
Looking at the winning barriers in the Australian Oaks, we do not believe there is a bias with starting barriers.
A good mix of winners have come from different gates with four coming from barrier 11 in the past four decades.
One of the best fillies in the race generally salutes in the race which is another reason that a barrier draw bias does not exist in the Oaks.
