Weatherbys Shop is a good place to get it (since they publish it).

Thing is, I don't know which winners the trends will highlight at Punchestown since Big Buck's isn't running [;)]

His stats strongly suggested that both Cue Card and Time for Rupert would be beaten at Cheltenham

Indeed. Some of his stats are excellent for eliminating horses. He also analyses the stats very well, i.e. is good at highlighting which trends are significant and which are spurious.

For example, he's said for several years that the Grand National weight cut off for trends should be 11-5 so, unlike most stats guys, he did not eliminate Don't Push It on weight last year. He also pointed out that the 6 year olds "trend" in the Gold Cup was nothing of the sort because so few had tried (and those that had ran well).

On the other hand, his methods produce quite long short lists, so if you want to follow his trends blind you often have to back 4 or 5 horses in a race.

rules to follow when using this guide.

1)enjoy it its a great read,
2)add 10% or 2 to every rule,i.e no horase lower than 115 as won for 20 years,well trust me ,the year your looking one will win at 114,so build in safety barriers
3)dont get the text tips/email tips - use the guide to work your own out.
4)they ask all the main bookies for tips - clearly dont back any of these unless its big bucks.
5)do read all the hunter chase section.
6)also read the x - country section,some amazing stats.
7)beware of the error on s.p prices,he states look at first 5 in the betting,but the winner may end up in the first 5 in the betting ,but in the morning tissue it could be 10th fav,he fails to mention this.
