I get most of my info from timeform, which is a subscription service.

But there's free stats available across the net, via racing post, at the races, sporting life etc etc.

 

In answer to your question about when is the best time to back the favs: the simple answer is never, but definitely avoid November to February inclusive. October is the best month.

 

Results broken down by Month

Bets / Wins /Win Strike Rate / Win %Return at SP

January 377 173 45.9% 89.2%

February 344 152 44.2% 85.8%

March 300 145 48.3% 96.0%

April 557 261 46.9% 90.3%

May 823 405 49.2% 95.0%

June 841 379 45.1% 87.6%

July 894 444 49.7% 96.9%

August 839 405 48.3% 94.2%

September 674 314 46.6% 90.1%

October 381 191 50.1% 99.0%

November 228 102 44.7% 87.5%

December 266 118 44.4% 84.7%

 

That probably looks a right mess, but the info's all there!

However the stats say there's profit to be made at Ascot and Chester.

sea the stars took 4/5

STS should win, but I think I'd prbably go with Youmzain for a place if I was to have a bet in this race.

windsor 5.00

 

hajmah took 13/8

Backed it myself. Saeed Suroor has a 27% strike rate at Windsor, you see.

 

Took 2.9 earlier.

And this rises to 31% with Mr Dettori on board.

Suroor also wins 31% of the time at Pontefract, including the opener at 4/1 today!

And this rises to 31% with Mr Dettori on board.

I like them kind of stats, so I've just got on at 2.76

CWP, amongst others, will verify that I've made decent money from laying the type of horse you're backing ie the short priced fav!

'tis true, if I remember correctly last year was particularly fruitfull

And this rises to 31% with Mr Dettori on board.

seems Dettori isn't on board now, Spencer has the ride instead

And therein lies the problem.

 

Spencer is shite. Lay all his rides at 1m2f or further and you'll make money.

 

10 defeats from 12 over the last 3 weeks.

4-10 nottingham

 

comradship took 7/4

comradship took 7/4

 

I'm on that one myself, too.

 

Here's why:

 

1. John Gosden in Sept/October - 2yos in non handicaps NOT on debut SR 27.8%; ROI +45.7%

2. J Gosden - 2yos on turf; off track for 15 days+, top 3 in betting SR 37.5%; ROI +21.8%

 

Good luck.

 

PS If you want a fav that looks good statistically:

 

Kempton All-Weather favourites:

2yo maidens: 60 wins from 142 races: Strike Rate = 42.3%

One such race today: the 6.20.

The stats look good on Comradship, so I've just had a wee bet, got 3.1 on Betfair

 

 

edit: Bugger, didn't win

Edited by CWP

Weakened very badly 1.5f from home.
