Henderson filling the coffers

Like the look of A Tail Of Intrigue in the 3.00. Useful for Williams a couple of years ago and there is money for this one, got 6.2 and 2.5, fingers crossed that Henderson has worked the oracle after a long lay off.

All 6 of Henderson's ran appalingly. Hard to figure this stable these days. Used to be a dream for backers. Can't all be put down to ordinary jockeys. I only ever back his double figure priced ones now. He must surely have the worst winning ratio of odds-on shots to winners of all trainers in the last few years.

Elliott wouldn`t be that far off that stat.

Never back that guy and usually don't bet in a race where he has a runner.

That's a lot of high class races that you won't be backing in then kipling and a huge amount of mediocre ones!

Who are you talking about Elliott or Henderson? My last remark was about Elliott.

According to my Proform database Henderson's strike rate with  odds on shots over the last 7 years, including this one, is 65%. In 2016 it was 70% and this year , up to a few of days ago when I last updated the database, it is 85%. The strike rate for all trainers over the 7 years is about 60%. So either Henderson is considerably better than average and people's perceptions are wrong or the database is defective in a major way. I don't think it is the database but I am willing to be persuade otherwise.

Sure your database is right K but that would include all those 1/4 to 1/10 shots that are two stone in.
