Saturday TV Trends/Stats
***
After the success of last week’s Hennessy trends/stats, where the shortlist of 4 included the winner and second, it is time to go again.
We have a right feast this Saturday and I will be enjoying a trip to Aintree. Last year my pin landed on Oscar Time 33/1 in the Becher Chase and I am overdue a big priced winner so will be looking to repeat the trick.
Below are the trends for the Becher Chase from Aintree and the London National from Sandown. I will preview the Grand Sefton for The Daily Punt Blog. They will email out/post up my initial trends analysis on Friday. I will post up a link when I get it.
For now, some trends and stats for you to start using that will hopefully help you identify a decent shortlist, and with any luck, the winner.
***
1.40 Aintree: Becher Chase
18 renewals; 275 runners ; 61 placed horses.
Note: The race conditions changed in 2005, from 6yo+ C2 handicap to it being open to 5yo+ and a C1 Listed Handicap. The ‘trends’ will focus on all races from 1997, whereas the ‘Stats’, when I dig down a bit further, will just concentrate from 2005 onwards.
Trends
12/18 Top 5 LTO
- 12/158 runners, 42 places…67% of winners, from 57% of runners, 69% of placed horses
- 5/34, 9 places PU or UR LTO
13/18 Aged 8,9,10
- 13/183 runners, 43 places…72% winners, 67% runners, 70% places
- So, no edge there. From number of runners the figures are what you would expect.
- 4/52, 11 places aged 11+…22% winners, 19% runners, 18% places
- Again, pretty much what you would expect.
- 0/10, 4 places those aged 5&6
- 1/30, 3 places Aged 7
12/18 ran 16-60 days ago
- 12/136, 33 places…67% winners, 49% runners, 54% places
- 0/69, 13 places ran 1-15 days ago…25% runners, 21% placed horses
- 6/61, 14 places ran 121-365 days ago
Looking at the ‘maximum distance run’ stats suggest that a run in the Grand National is a positive..
9/18 has run over a max of 4m4f (can only be the National!)
- 9/94 runners, 29 places…50% winners, 34% runners, 48% places
Market/odds
- No real guide. Winners at a variety of prices albeit those priced 50/1 or above are 0/19, 1 place to date.

Other Stats of Interest (2005-)
10 races, 174 runners, 37 places

- 4/18, 5 places..6,7,8 handicap wins..40% winners, 10% runners, 14% places
