Gold Cup - Trends

 

Age

  • A race that's won by a horse at the peak of its career so avoid any younger than seven or older than ten to keep on the right side of over 30 years of stats, with eight or nine years olds the most successful.

Recent Form and Experience

  • Select a horse with winning form who has not run for at least five weeks, stamina is the key to this race and the winner often runs through beaten horses in the last 1/2 mile, you should also side with horses with relatively few miles on the clock and statistics show with jumpers with less than 14 career runs have a big edge. Previous win or place Festival form is a another must have statistically.

Market Position

  • Turning into a "favourites" race over recent years, but a long priced horse or two is normally in contention come the finish and  each way punters are often rewarded, so a win on the favourite should be supported with a saver each way on a trend fitting outsider.

Trainers

  • A race dominated by Henrietta Knight with Best Mate in recent years but overall no real trend  based on training.

Other Positives

  • A winner over 3m+ in the past have a good advantage as do second season chasers.

PERFECTION: A 8 or 9 year old 2nd season chaser who comes into the race after a decent break and has been lightly raced, proven over further than 3 miles and is normally held up in its races.
