"Five yards of fresh ground in the last mile of the Derby course will be opened up by the removal of the inner rail on Friday night, with repairs to the ground also taking place."
Does this mean high or low stall drawn horses may benefit from the fresher ground in the 5f dash?
The horses drawn low in the dash are on the far side so the fresh ground should benefit those who get that far rail, however, when the ground is soft at Epsom the stand side ground is better so I would personally be looking for horses drawn high in that race.
For the Derby the horses drawn high get the rail for the right hand bend that comes after about 2f but then as the course swings left they tack over so any horse getting that inside rail will benefit.
There’s only 12 declared so even the low drawn horses won’t have as hard a time of it getting across, Adayar is drawn 1 but if there were 20 runners his 1 box would effectively be box 9 (of 20).
If ever there's a year where the draw should hold less relevance this should be it.
As for the ground warm and sunny all day tomorrow so ground will dry, there's a danger it gets tacky and sticky and becomes a severe stamina test…
