Which Boxes Win

Greyhound box-draw bias from 1,475 settled races

In greyhound racing the rug number is the box draw — box 1 is the inside rail, box 8 the outside. Inside dogs get the shortest run to the first turn, and over a big sample that edge shows up clearly. Here's how each box really performs.

Bar = win strike rate (scaled to the strongest box). Place % shown inline.
The read: Box 1 is the strongest draw at 19.6% win, while box 5 is the weakest at 10.8%. That's a real edge to the inside — when you're choosing between similar dogs, the lower box is the tiebreaker, and a well-drawn dog is worth a second look. Box 1 best Box 5 worst
Per-track still building. No single track has enough settled races yet (80+) for a reliable per-track box bias — the all-tracks view above is the trustworthy one for now. Track-by-track breakdowns will unlock as more races settle.
Box = greyhound rug number (1 inside rail → 8 outside). Win/place from settled results only. Descriptive track structure — independent of any tips model. Not betting advice · 18+.
