Is There Any Barrier Draw Bias in The Galaxy
The Galaxy has had a nice spread of winners from different barriers over the years – we saw Russian Revolution salute the judge in 2017 from barrier 14; just one year earlier and Griante had been victorious after jumping from gate one.
Horses capable of leaving the gates quickly to take a forward position often don’t mind where they draw as they can generally land a spot in the top four in running.
Looking at The Galaxy over the past 40 years, we are comfortable to assert that there is no barrier draw bias in the race.
