Verdict : RSA looks strong but the Fred Winter looks weak and I wonder if there's a 'decent flat horse' trend to be followed next year as possibly that's what the 'G1 Flat sire' trend was indicating and now we have a decent flat horse actually winning it. A couple of 10/10 Queen Mother trends broken and it wasn't any real surprise that the Irish trained trend went in The Bumper.

Most of the horses that have won this year, have met the trends stats. If you wait for 1 that meets every stat, you will hardly ever back a horse at thie Festival meeting

Nobody has said that you need to wait for 1 that meets every stat Cricnut. In fact quite the opposite if you go back to the Tuesday thread.

The weatherbys book by paul jones states that in the fred winter the top rated horse on the flat has a remarkable record in this race...i think its a massive stat to look for in future fred winters.
After what a charms win yesterday i think many trainers will go down a plot route with their juveniles to get them into this race really well treated. Also fillys have an overall good record from so few runners! |
