Yorkshire Oaks Statistics (22 Aug, Wednesday)
About the barriers
Yorkshire Oaks (2019 to 2023)
| Barrier | 1st | 2nd | 3rd |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| 6-10 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| 11-15 | - | - | - |
| 16 and above | - | - | - |
This is not a race that has attracted many runners with fields of 10, 7 (twice), 6 and 4 and as such the barrier position has had little impact on the result. Runners from barriers 3 (a win, a second and a third) and 6 (third in the last three renewals) have finished in the money more than any others.
