Set in 165 acres of beautiful Berkshire countryside and located on the banks of the River Thames, Windsor is best known for its lively summer evening fixtures that take place on thirteen consecutive Mondays with a single exception. Alongside Fontwell, Windsor is the only other course in the UK that has a figure-of-eight circuit and therefore, it tends to play into the hands of the well-balanced, nimble individual.

Effect of the Draw

High numbers are definitely best in sprints when the ground is good or faster, but it's the exact opposite on soft and heavy ground, when low numbers have a clear edge. Good to soft ground cancels out biases.
Concentrate on: the bottom seven stalls in soft and heavy ground sprints, Cross out: any runner drawn in single figures in fast-ground sprints when 18+ runners.
