Is There A Barrier Bias in the Doncaster Mile?

The Doncaster Mile is a wonderful race where any barrier draw could produce the winner of the race.

From 1996, only two barriers have had three winners each, and they were barriers 12 and 16.

During that timeframe, almost every single barrier has returned a winner too which shows that there is no barrier draw bias in the Doncaster Mile.

The race attracts large fields which is why wide draws have produced winners, including the 2019 edition when Brutal was victorious after jumping from gate 18.
