Runners regularly split into 2 groups in both 5F and 6F races at Ripon, sometimes in races with as few as 12 runners, but not all races split.
As a general rule, splitting often causes spreads of wins across both high and Low stalls.

On good or better going, the Bottom half of the draw has been favoured by 20 wins against 11, a ratio of almost 2 to 1.
On good or better going, stalls 1 to 6 won 18 of 31 races 58%, not a high percentage for 6 stalls.
The Top 6 stalls won 10 of 31 races.
There are spreads of results throughout this chart especially in races with 14 runners.
In races of 8 to 14 runners, the Bottom half of the draw won 10 of 18 races.
In races of 15 or more runners, the Bottom half of the draw won 10 of 13 races.
Stalls 1 to 6 won 8 of 13 races 61%, not a high percentage for 6 stalls.

A major factor that determines which side of this course rides faster is the going.
As a general rule, the faster the going, the more Low stalls have been favoured,
BUT, as field sizes increase beyond 18 runners, wins spread to higher stalls.
