Gordon Elliott 2020 Handicap Performances
Collapse

These stats show the handicaps where Gordon and Willie have had most runners over the last five years.
It's perhaps surprising that Gordon only leads Willie 86-73 in handicap entries over this period.
But Willie very much targets mainly the Coral, County and Martin Pipe - and it's the County which has produced by far his strongest return with 2 victories and 5 placed efforts from 18 runners.
Willie has only had 19 runners in total in the other 7 handicaps during that period - and they have produced a return of just 2 placed efforts.
And the stats say you'd be better off having Gordon on your side in every handicap apart from the County where all 9 of his entries have blanked.
I haven't totted up the numbers but I get the impression that Gordon has a lot of young chasers this year who could go down the handicap route at the Festival.
So it'll be interesting to see if he bucks his own trend over the last 5 years of not having multiple entries in many of those races.
He's targeted the Kim Muir more than any other handicap chase but has still only saddled 7 runners in 5 years.
So it could be a risky approach to expect him to have multiple entries in these handicap chases.
Nearly three-quarters of his handicap entries have been over hurdles - split between the Pipe, Boodles, Coral, Pertemps and County.
All 9 of his County runners have bombed.
But his strike rate from 51 runners in the other four handicap hurdles has been a spectacular 50 per cent bagging either a win or place - with 8 wins 18 placed and 25 unplaced.
So keeping it simple it's basically: back Gordon in the Pipe, Boodles, Coral and Pertemps and follow Willie in the County.
Gordon's also got a great record in the Kim Muir but don't expect him to have more than 2 runners and maybe only 1.
His record in the other handicaps isn't too shabby either but he's likely to have only one starter at most.
Willie is not worth following in any of the other handicaps apart from maybe the Coral where he has won once and had 2 placed efforts from 21 starters which is not great for punting purposes.
At least Willie's record still gives hope that Capodanno might have a chance in the County next year!!
