    Few trends here that would make you look past backing favourites!

    Why the face ? If they're not for you then move along.

    The guy has taken the time to put them up and has taken time to post responses to specific requests.

    It's called contributing.

    just wondering Gringo if the going or conditions affect the trends?
    They would normally play a part .

    Of course they are, there are people who follow them blindly which I would never advocate as there are some stats that are just irrelevant and have no logical basis, however others certainly are relevant and make sense.

    4 out of 10 horses that run in the race are never seen again
    Mccoys next supreme win will only come when Hors La Loi returns to the track
    The first 3 in the supreme will place in either the JLT, Arkle or champion hurdle
    The following season or will be never seen again until a cold day in sedgefield 3 years later
