Not a bad haul last weekend in the eletter…
The highlight was in the 15:30 at Newmarket last Saturday where the Past Winner Trends suggested this particular 2 year old race might be open to a big priced winner.
In this instance I put forward horses at odds of 20/1 and 25/1 to back each-way. I did not give the horse’s name, rather the odds range. A unique strategy but a very successful one on this occasion.
There was actually only one candidate on this occasion.
The Last Lion at odds of 25/1.
The Last Lion beat the favourite by ¾ of a length.
A gentle reminder to you, dear reader, to consider Betfair SP when backing this big odds horses. On this occasion Betfair SP would have returned you at least 33/1 for the win and a rather nice 5/1 just for the horse placing. 38/1 return in total!
This idea of selecting horses based on their odds is something worthy of consideration.
If you don’t want to do the work yourself, then there is a website which provides these trends for free. I’ve mentioned it before, but will mention it again in light of the Last Lion lustfully lashing in with lightning-like speed last Saturday!
Scroll down the home page and you will see this area:
These are the races covered by this website this weekend, and good news to you guys. It is free!
This website pretty much does what I do and look over the PAST WINNER trends to identify future potential winners.
Where this website differs from me is in the identification of horses to follow. I go with the odds. He names particular horses.
Perhaps Past Winner trends are something you should include in your thoughts from now on?
Do it yourself using the Past Winner stats at www.racingpost.com (you may have to be a member of the members club) or let a site like Trendy Rich give you pointers.
Note, I would only tend to employ this strategy with high-class events with high-class horses. We can I hope be assured of these top rate horses giving their true running over time.
I’m off now to laugh loudly at lightning-like The Last Lion.
