Aintree Review

Really pleased with how the stats performed at Aintree, both the significant stats and the general stats with many of the winners shortlisted and highlighted in the posts. There was 19 significant stats in total, with 17 being upheld (1 was hit by any horse) which helped us to narrow down the fields considerably.

On Day 1, the stats and the blog highlighted winners, Monmiral, Clan Des Obeaux, Abbacadaras, and Editeur De Gite, along with placed horses at EW prices such as Frero Banbou. There was 5 significant stats in total and all 5 were upheld.

Day 2 highlighted Dusart was a weak favourite having missed the significant stat, Chantry House as strong bet being the only horse to meet the high significant stat and the well backed Fakir D'oudairies who met the most sig stats. There was also some nice priced EW horses highlighted.

Day 3 was another successful day, Hometown Boy and Tea Clipper highlighted in the 1st race, My Drogo, Shiskin, and Thyme Hill followed, then came Happygolucky who met the sig stat of the race. Finally in the Grand National, the sig stat was upheld (3+ runs) however I discarded the winner based upon no win over 24f+ previously, I do think we was unlucky however on the eventual 3rd, Any Second Now who was badly hampered by a faller. 

Punchestown still to come and the flat racing will start to pick up pace shortly so keep an eye out on Twitter.
