Does The Winx Stakes Have A Barrier Draw Bias?

We can definitively say that the Winx Stakes does not have any barrier draw bias.

Being the first Group 1 race of the spring, the Winx Stakes can often attract a smaller-to-medium sized field. Barrier two followed by four has had the most success since 2000. Winx herself jumped from both of these barriers during her three-peat domination that saw her win an astounding 33-straight races.
