Champion Hurdle Challenge Trophy

Win Stats: Age: 5-9 = 100% 6-8 = 85% Bred: IRE, FR, GB = 100% Runs: 1-4 = 95% 2-4 = 90% Days: 21+ = 100% LTO: 1st = 85% Previous festival experience: = 95% Grade: 1-2 = 85% Grade: Won a graded race that season =92% Grade run LTO: 1 - listed = 92% Season wins: 1-3 = 100% 2-3 = 85% OR: S.D = 162+ Mean = 166+ RPR: S.D = 163+ Mean = 167+ Crosstab Age/Bred: 5-7 FR 6-9 IRE/GB Significant Stats: Season wins 2+ LTO 1st OR 162+ BRPR 163+ Positive correlation between position, OR (167) RPR (171+), LTO (1st), season wins (2-3). Winner analysis: It is a shame Lossiemouth will not be running but even without her we have a cracking race to look forward to. Con Hill (8/13) and Brighterdaysahead (9/4) meet all the sig stats and the correlation (BDA adjusted figs for mares’ allowance). I personally will not be backing anything, just sitting back, and watching what will hopefully be a classic. Good luck if you do have a bet.

Sequestered (20/1), Famous Bridge (18/1), Malina Girl(12/1) and The Changing Man (6/1) have lovely EW profiles.  Win Stats: Age: 7-11 = 94% 7-9 = 83% Bred: IRE, FR, GB = 100% IRE = 89% Runs: 2-5 = 94% LTO: 1-5 = 89% Distance: 24f+ = 89% OR: 129-155 S.D 137-149 Weight: S.D = 10-5 – 11-6 RPR Race:  142+  Significant Stats: LTO 1-5 Days 0-59 Winner analysis: The four horses above also meet the two sig stats and the win stats. Whistle Stop Tour (9/1) and Katate Dori (7/1) also meet the two sig stats and have good looking win profiles. Famous Bridge ran well for a long way in this race last year before tiring on the heavy going and looks a decent EW shout. The Irish have a terrib...

Arkle Challenge Trophy Novices' Chase

Win Stats: Age: 5-8 = 100% 6-7 = 80% Bred: IRE, FR, GB = 100% IRE, FR = 85% Runs: 2-5= 95% 3-4 = 80% Days: 21+ = 95% Chase wins: 1-4 = 100% Left-handed win: 92% Grade: 1-2 = 75% LTO: 1-2 = 95% 1st = 85% OR: S.D = 149+ Mean = 158+ RPR: S.D = 156+ Mean = 164+ Hurdles OR: S.D = 143+ Mean = 153+ Crosstab Age/Bred: 5-7 FR 6-8 Other Significant Stats: RPR 156+ HOR 145+ OR 153+ Chase wins 2+ Positive correlation between position, OR (158+), RPR (161+), HOR (153+), & chase wins (2+) Winner analysis: No EW stats with only two places available. Focussing purely on the sig stats, Majborough (8/15) ad Jango Baie (7/1) are the only horses to meet them. The fav is the only horse to meet the correlation and I’m sure many people will be doubling him up with some of the other short priced favs on the first day. I will play the forecast for some fun.

Michael O'Sullivan Supreme Novices' Hurdle

EW Stats: Age: 5-6 = 92% Bred: IRE, FR = 86% Runs: 2-4 = 92% Hurdle wins: 1-3 = 92% Won on a left-handed track: = 78% LTO: 1-2 = 88% Days: 20+ = 94% OR: S.D = 142+ Mean = 148+ Best RPR: S.D = 141+ Mean = 148+ S.P: Mean 9s and under EW Analysis : Romeo Coolio (5/1) has the best profile for EW purposes. Others which have strong EW profiles include Salvator Mundi (8/1), Tripoli Flyer (20/1) and Karbau (20/1). The latter could be anything and at 20/1 at enhanced places could tempt people.

Cheltenham Festival 2025

Welcome to this year’s Cheltenham Festival significant horse racing stats page. For new readers and followers, the aim of this blog is to provide readers with statistics and trends for most races and more importantly highlight key significant stats/trends that will help narrow down fields to just a few horses. Some of the races include up to 20 years’ worth of data whilst others, particularly the handicaps 10 years. By no means am I ‘tipping’ horses, just providing information for readers to use as they wish. I will highlight horses I will be backing or have already backed. Finally, if anyone has any questions or suggestions, please message me on twitter @SigStatsHorses and feel free to like or retweet. Key: Sig stat: In principle, a statistically significant result (usually a difference) is a result that is not attributed to chance. A statistically significant difference is simply one where the measurement system (including sample size, measurement scale, etc.) was...
