Results for the past ten years up to 4-May-2022. Stats for GB Flat Turf only. All profit figures are based on Betfair SP. The figures at SP are still profitable but there is a big Betfair SP bonus over the SP. Thank heavens for those crazy layers.
The Archie stats page "mines" millions of combinations of stats in seconds and can show you just the very best stats. You can choose to view highly profitable stats for backing, or very unprofitable stats that can be used for laying. e.g. did you know trainer Richard Hughes favourites that won their last time out race have returned a loss of 63%?
