How to use this

If a distance shows a strong high- or low-draw edge, it's a genuine factor to weigh — a well-drawn horse gets a head start, a badly-drawn one needs to be good enough to overcome it. Our model already bakes draw into every Pontefract selection, so you don't have to: see today's Pontefract tips, or the full Pontefract form guide.

Why trust these numbers

This isn't a pundit's hunch. It's every Pontefract race in our database, settled from official results, recomputed automatically. The same engine that measures this draw bias scores every runner at Pontefract each morning — logged before the off, win or lose, on our public track record.
