Is There A Barrier Draw Bias in the Doomben Cup?

The Doomben Cup has had an even spread of winners from different starting barriers which makes it a very fair race.

This means there is no barrier draw bias in the race, and that is the case for the majority of Group 1 thoroughbred races in Australia.

Looking at the past 15 years, while there is no barrier draw bias, there is definitely a trend where horses in the market generally produce the winner. Almost all winners since 2010 have been horses in single figures.
