The Stats & Trends will be updated every day by 10am, with any key pointers highlighted - so make sure and check back daily.

Any of the top online bookmakers on our site are perfect for backing a Stats & Trends horse. Simply click the link to your preferred bookie, add the horse to your betting slip, and place a bet as normal.

Trainers and jockeys record in a race the most common weight range or age group that wins a race, what sort of form a horse brings, or how long a break a horse has had before running in a race are all key pointers.

Specific trainers target specific races, and certain jockeys ride some racecourses better than others, so keeping those on your side can be an advantage.

While some horses perform better at specific racecourses and on different types of ground.
