Races around a mile and a half horses go both left and right around turns, it’s a bit stop-start and just when a horse seems to have an advantage others swallow him/her up.

Windsor as a course is tough to read, and we would advise a cautious approach when evaluating the form of Windsor races for future races at other tracks.

Evening racing which Windsor specialises in gives longer study time for tipsters, this will hopefully lead to more winning pieces of horse racing advice.

The most profitable stall at Windsor in the win market when breaking it down to race trips is stall 4 over a trip of 5f, backing all runners in this stall over that trip over the past five years would have returned a profit of +108.66.

Here we have the draw bias for Windsor taken into consideration races with ten or more runners, we will break down the figures by race distance, draws can be much more important over the shorter trips in which runners do not have time to find their position during the race meaning the draw is probably more important than the races over longer distances.

• Sprints (5f to 7½f)
• Mile (1m to 1m1½f)
• Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)

The following table shows a breakdown over a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example in a twelve-runner race would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12), the positions will always be lowest stall number to highest.
