Chelmsford Racecourse

Key Characteristics
The Chelmsford City surface is polytrack,but unlike the other polytrack courses, is a galloping track and most horses can act on it.
Draw Bias & Pace Analysis
There seems to be a strong bias towards front runners. In fact this bias is the greatest in the country over 5 furlongs because the stalls are only one furlong away from the first bend; so getting away quickly and being up with the pace is very important.
The bias exists up to one mile.
It appears to be something to do with the fact that there is a lot of kick back at Chelmsford and this makes life unpleasant for horses in the rear who are trying to come from behind.
Over the marathon distances the bias doesn’t exist as much although over 1 mile 5 furlongs horses who are handy are strongly favoured.
