Front Runners - Flat
 

 

You will often see comments in the racing press to the effect that certain tracks are good for front runners. That is only true to a certain extent, and we need to take it a stage further than that if we are to be truly accurate.

 

Because of the layout of the various tracks, specific distances at certain tracks are conducive to front running tactics - rather than the track as a whole.

 

Here in tabulated form is a list of the different distances on all flat tracks in the UK, together with the percentage winning strike rate of front runners. A front runner for this purpose is defined as a horse that made all or most of the running.

Distances that have not had a sufficient number of races run over them to produce a meaningful statistic are not shown.
