Top 20 Trainers

Ascot (going forecast GS showers) market odds from 10.05

1.20 Cadeau D'Or 16/5
1.55 Wild beauty 5/2
2.30 Stowell 1/3
4.40 Invicible Swagger 17/2
 
The current top 20 trainers have not been doing too well for me this season as yet, so will try the next 20 to see if I can do better as they are still in the top 10% of the 400 or so trainers, plus the fact the odds returned should be better :prankster: .

Catterick (going forecast S showers) market odds from 09.00

1.08 Mendinah 18 (7/1 e.w.)
1.40 Fashion Advice 19 (9/4)
2.15 Euro Implosion 13 (13/2 e.w.)
2.50 Idlico 15(15/2 e.w.)
3.25 Gullane One 18 (14/1 e.w,)
4.00 Canaria 18 (25/1), Portend 18 (35/1)
4.30 Let Me be 23 (1/1). (I Can't Remember 13 (11/1) 2nd string - and the Keith Dalgleish yard seem s to be having a pop today).
5.00 Tathmeen 11 (5/1 e.w.)
 
That @markfin has been talking about me behind my back on the forum,so I thought I ought to respond :D.

I do respect successful trainers as an approach to finding selections to support. The reason being that you are more likely to get better odds in comparison with backing form runners. I couldn't do better than post an excerpt form an old free e-book by Tim Drakeford that I have posted on the forum before:

'You may have heard the old saw that fast horses win races. This is a tautology, because by definition, of course, the fastest horse in the race on the day always wins. The trick is to find the one which will be fastest on the day before the race is run! To me, this trick has three aspects. First, the horse must have the ability to win the race. Second, the horse must be able to show its form - that is, to live up to its innate ability. Thirdly, and absolutely vitally, the animal must be fancied by the people connected with it. If they are definitely not trying, then the horse will not win, and if they are not trying very hard it is less likely to win than might otherwise seem the case. These are the questions, then, that the punter must answer before choosing a runner on which he might bet -

Does the horse have sufficient ability to win a race of this type?
Are the circumstances right for the ability to be shown on this occasion?
Do connections expect the horse to win or go close?
If the answers to these three questions are an unequivocal "yes", then the punter has found the right sort of horse on which to invest his money."

These are my top trainers with the best overall strike-rates updated to 11 May.

how would you determine a horse is fancied by connections? e.g. odds must be less than x?
 
Not everyone is interested in HRB. If it has a feature to signal a runner is fancied by the yard fine, but by what criteria does it come to that conclusion? By the screenshot above it looks like a combo of no of runners and odds and leaves the user to scan it and take a viewpoint on the stats

You are correct not everyone is interested in HRB but there is a free trial link on the forum which gives 7 days access to try out all the various tools for themselves and make their own minds up if it is of any use to them. Not for you judged on your previous view about HRB being often mentioned on the forum. There other commercial tool available Proform and FS, having used the latter for many years myself.


The number of runners is not linked to the the odds in my screenshot, just separated information.

in answer to your other comment, yes HRB has quite a few features for runners fancied by stables

One of quite a few tools for Stable Market moves

For the race chosen by Jackform Jackform



in the screenshot below at present there are two Market movers with regards shortening odds

With regards Percys Lad I have checked out the Trainers other Market Movers about the same range as today. Of course the opening show on course may change form the screenshot above but if similar then the screen shot below is how previous similar Market MoVera have performed

You're correct I have no interest in HRB promotions of any kind.

But this has prompted me to look at market movers again + other factors across a very broad sample , then compare that to those stats for individual trainers, to potentially come up with a "fancied by yard" flag or rating
