Horse Racing Stats

Looking at horse racing stats is a fundamental part of the decision making process when trying to find the winner of a race. Long before stats became trendy in football betting, punters were delving into the data to find horse racing pointers for today – looking at different bits of information that, when pulled together, form trends that are worth following. Stats can be related to the trainer, jockey or the horse – read more about these below.

How to Use Horse Racing Stats

Some punters may pick a horse based purely on a stat that they strongly believe in – eg they may always want to back a Course and Distance winner because they know the horse likes the conditions – and others will digest the full range of stats and add them into a bigger decision making process which combines a multitude of different elements. What is important is that you always consider the chance of the horse – which could be based on today’s stats – in relation to the odds available. For example, if the stats suggest a horse has around a 40% chance of winning the race but the odds available are Evens (which implies it has a 50% chance of winning) then it isn’t a bet you should place as the odds aren’t in your favour.

Our Stats Explained

Here is a short guide to the horse racing pointers we display on GG. Make sure you visit the dedicated page for each of these categories to see the full list of racing betting stats for today.

Trainer Stats

Our dedicated Trainer Stats page shows the Hot Trainers today – ie those who have enjoyed a high strike rate of winners in the last 14 days plus all the Top Course Trainers which are those who have the best strike rate at the course from at least 3 wins.

Jockey Stats

Very similar to our Trainers page, Our Jockey Stats page combines the Hot Jockeys for today with the Top Course Jockeys at today’s tracks.

Longest Travellers

Our Longest Travellers Today page shows the horses that have travelled the furthest distances to the racecourse which is often seen by punters as an indication that the horse has a strong chance of winning due to the time and cost involved.

Course & Distance Winners

Our Course and Distance Winners Today page lists all the horses running who have previously won at today’s track over the same distance as today’s race. If a horse has previously won over C&D, it is a strong indication that it enjoy’s today’s conditions and should run a good race again.

First Time Headgear / First Run After Wind Surgery

Our First Time Headgear Today page collates all the horses wearing blinkers, a visor, hood or tongue strap today – pieces of headgear which can help a horse to concentrate better during a race which can incite a better performance. We also display horses having their first run after a wind operation on this page – another statistic that can spark a big improvement in horses.
