Table 1.
UK racecourses operating flat races and the number of races run at each course during the study period 1/10/14 to 30/9/2015 [35].
(BRA, 2015). A total of 3803 races were run over anti-clockwise courses and 2,455 races over clockwise courses. Most track surfaces were turf, but there were also four all-weather (AW) tracks.

Repeated measures of the gallop LL preference of individual horses as they exited the starting stalls and the results of individual statistical analyses (test for one proportion).
Table 3.
Calculations for the bimodality test designed by Schilling et al. [41] (2002) demonstrate that the groups (all horses, females, males, geldings, and stallions) are all bimodal distributions.
Table 4.
Results of the Welch’s t-test between the degree of motor laterality to the L and R in groups of significantly lateralised horses (all horses, females, males, geldings, stallions, females L vs males L, and females R vs males R).
Significant results are highlighted in bold. The values were calculated using μL-μR = 0 in Minitab (DF = degrees of freedom).
