Irish flat research - Trainer stats

[stewartd14]

In order to crack many of the Irish maidens, and also some of the hotter races, I think knowing about each of the trainer's stat's in different fields can be extremely beneficial. A vast number of the Irish races are won by a small number of trainers, so at least to start with, I am going to focus on the top dogs. I plan to do the same for the UK flat scene, but need to spend some time researching it. Jim Bolger Summary

• Back 2 y olds at The Curragh
• Avoid 2 y olds at Tipperary
• Back 3 y olds at Tipperary
• Back all Wexford runners
• Back older horses at Fairyhouse
• Back horses racing over 1m 5f
• Take note of all runners in April
• Avoid all 2/3 y olds in June/July - NOTE, Back 4 y olds in July
• Note 2 y olds in August
• Avoid 4 y o + in Group races.

Course Information Curragh: Overall: 13% (+£38.24) 2 Y O: 15% (+£57.81) Note other age groups actually result in a LOSS at the Curragh, so focus on 2 year olds. Sligo: Overall: 25% (+£3.50) 2 Y O: 40% (+£6.50) Again, other age groups result in a loss. Small sample size due to small number of runners. Tipperary Overall: 13% (+£3.04) 2 Y O: 2% (-£43.27) 3 Y O: 30% (+£49.86) Wexford Overall: 27% (+£17.15) No 2 y o runners, profitable 3 y o and 4 y o + fields. Note: Has a good record with his 4 y o + runners at: Fairyhouse: 43% (+£19.00) Listowel, Tralee and Wexford ... small sample though (1/2 runners) Distance Information 22% strike rate at distances over 1m 5f (£28.50) 25% strike rate with 4yo + at distances over 1m 5f (£33.75) MONTH INFORMATION

• Rarely has many runners in March, until last year.
• April has produced profits for 3 of the last 4 years. Not many 2 y o runners (2/4 last year). Great profits for 3 year olds.
• June and July has produced some pretty large losses - no profit in any of last 4 years. Bad 2 y o record.
• August - Good month for his 2 year olds.
• September and October - bad record all round
• 4 y o + well worth following in July.

RACE INFORMATION 15% strike rate in G1,2,3's (+£12.00). Increases to 20% s/r (£19.23) with 2 y o's and 3 y o's. Avoid 4 y o + in Group races.Maiden races produce a large loss in general.
