I know people say I'm a stats man but that is not exactly true

I am a profile, preparation and performance man I'm not so many percentages and numbers if you read my thread. It's more about how and where they've been campaigned, the negatives they have against them and their effect on the probability that they win and all that combined with speed ratings and the associated performance

Looking at Paul Nicholls overall record in the last 10 years at the Festival –

Runners 297
Winners 29
Strike rate 9.76%
Profit on turnover based on level stakes (36.53%)

Nicholls festival runners WITH Walsh on board
Runners 115
Winners 21
Strike rate 18.3%
Profit (5.0%)

Nicholls festival runners WITHOUT Walsh on board
Runners 182
Winners 8
Strike rate 4.4%
Profit (56.46%)

now we filter horses ridden by walsh in the 1st 3 in the betting

Selections - 71
wins - 20
strike rate - 28.2%
profit +24.3%

now we filter horses that have run in the last 49 days

Selections 34
Wins 13
Strike rate 38.24%
Profit +100.46%

phillip hobbs

Let's start with his overall record over last ten festivals -

Selections 167
Winners 11
Strike rate 6.59%
Profit (26.65%)

How about getting rid of very nearly HALF of all Hobbs runners without losing a SINGLE WINNER. How would you have done that -simple. You'd have just avoided any Hobbs runner with anybody other than our man Johnson on board

Without Johnson - 81 tried and all 81 failed! ALL 81!!!What a stat that is. That is the kind of fuel our red pen needs. Rocket fuel from a stats perspective. 81 straight losers  And not many near misses either (only 2 runners up and 5 third placed horses.)

ok horses ridden by johnson

Selections 86
Winners 11
Strike rate 12.8%
Profit +44.46%

ok next filter

So, Hobbs runners with Johnson aboard having had a run within the last 49 days gave the following return -

Selections 55
Winners 10
Strike rate 18.2%
Profit +110.9%

sorry one more major filter for hobbs before we move to big dave pipe

So far we've said back all his horses ridden by Johnon which have run in last 50 days. The final thing we're going to look at is his record in handicaps Vs non-handicaps.

Looking at our remaining qualifiers and winners (55 & 10) only TWO of the winners came in handicaps from a total of 23 runners, resulting in a loss of >10%. Conversely, His non-handicap runners (with Johnson and ran in last 50 days) racked up 8 wins from 32 runners for a very healthy strike rate of 25% and a whopping profit of 63.5 pts to a 1 pt level stake - equating to 198% profit on turnover.

That is a fantastic return. Absolutely top-notch.

Selections 32
Winners 8
Strike rate 25%
Profit +198.5%

Let's start with David Pipe.

He has pretty much the same type of profile as his father. Very low strike rate overall and a lot of darts thrown at the board. They've had more runners than either Nicholls or Henderson but far fewer winners. It's fair to say that Pipe jnr hasn't had the same firepower as those other yards, and that is reflected in one of the key things you need to look at with the yard.

SEVEN of David Pipe's eight winners have come in handicaps. He's only had one win (Our Vic) from 59 tries in non-handicaps. 13 of that 59 have started in a prominent (first three of jt third) market position so he has had fancied runners, but not a lot to show for it. Well Chief (twice), Grand Crus (twice), Our Vic, Over The Creek, Osana (twice) and Tamarinbleu are just some of the high profile horses that haven't quite managed to get home in front, despite being well fancied.

On the other hand, he has had winners for five of the last six years in at least one handicap at the festival. He seems to invariably have horses laid out for handicaps at the meeting.

So, step 1 with David Pipe - IGNORE his runners in non-handicaps and focus only on his handicap runners. Tune in tomorrow evening to find out some easy rules which will help you to separate the Pipe handicap wheat from the chaff - I'll illustrate a simple system that would have returned almost 100% profit on turnover onm Pipe's handicap runners by applying only two simple rules.


The overall record is -

Selections 103
Winners 7
Strike Rate 6.8%
Profit -22%

The starting point is to take out the 'no-hopers' that start at 33/1 or more. I accept that one day one of these may come in but Pipe is not in the habit of letting his fancied runners in handicaps at the festival go unbacked and not a single one of the 34 who've started at that price or greater has made the first three in the frame (4 have been fourth including the doughty Battle Group - twice!).

Taking that 34 out improves things dramatically and we are now in profitable territory -

Selections 69
Winners 7
Strike rate 10.%
Profit +16.4%

The last piece of the Pipe jigsaw...

Placing handicappers is an art. And timing is part of that art. David Pipe seems to have an established pattern relating to the timing of the last runs of his successful festival handicappers.

Of the 7 winners only one, Gaspara, has run within the last five weeks leading up to its race at the festival. That is from 32 runners (starting
