The draw

Flat races with eight or more runners, each field split into thirds by stall number, and the winners counted. A third that wins more than its share of the runners is where the stalls have helped.

Over five and six furlongs the thirds have won roughly in proportion to their numbers: no draw bias worth the name. (56 races.) Over seven furlongs to a mile the low stalls have won 52.3% of the races from 36.4% of the runners: a real lean to low. (44 races.) Thirds are by stall number, so the lowest third holds the spare runner when a field does not divide by three; that is why the runner shares are unequal.

Big-field handicaps

Big-field handicaps on the flat

33 handicaps with 14 or more runners, an average field of 16.5. The winner's average starting price was about 10/1; 11 winners came in at 10/1 or bigger and 6 at 20/1 or bigger. Favourites won 8 of 42 and £1 on each lost 6.5p in the pound.

Who wins at Naas

Trainers and jockeys with at least 15 runners and four winners here in the window. Strike rate is wins over runs; the return is £1 on every runner at SP. Thirty runs is a small sample, and the yards with the best strike rates are usually the yards with the best horses everywhere.

OddsLens at Naas

Since 27 April 2026 the OddsLens model has made 55 calls at Naas, each logged before the off with the best price at that moment. 16 won, a 29.1% strike rate, for a −15.7% return at the logged prices and an average closing line value of +6.7%. That makes Naas one of the model's weaker tracks so far; every one of those calls, and every call to come, sits on the public record, wins and losses alike.

Today's free race is open now. One race a day, no account needed: the OddsLens win chance for every runner, the best price across 20+ bookmakers and the brief. Open it, or check the record first.

Method. Every settled race at Naas in the OddsLens results database from 23 March 2025 to 23 August 2026 (official returns, starting price, non-runners excluded). "Favourite" means the shortest starting price in the race; joint favourites are each backed for £1. Ground is the official going for the meeting: soft, heavy and their variants against everything else. The draw study uses flat races with at least eight drawn runners, in two bands (five to six and a half furlongs; seven furlongs to a mile and half a furlong), each field split into thirds by stall number. Big handicaps are races with "handicap" in the title and 14 or more runners at SP. The OddsLens record is the public ledger only (no shadow models), settled calls, at the prices logged before the off. Sections with too few races to say anything true are left out. Recomputed weekly; this page was built on 10 September 2026.
