Aintree 2016: Previous winners and 10 year trends for all 21 races
Waley-Cohen's ride is Oscar Time and antique is a fair adjective to use. He is spectacularly old. Fourteen-year-olds just don't get seen on racecourses, not even in hunter chases and veterans' handicaps. When Peter Simple won the National in 1853 at 15 one has to assume the quality of opposition was a very far cry from what it will be a week on Saturday. No horse older than 12 has won since 1923.
The Cheltenham Festival once again produced a steady stream of winners…
There were 21 races run at the Aintree Festival this season. 13 of those winners had their last start at the previous months Cheltenham Festival.
There were 65 win & place horses and 34 of them had their last start at Cheltenham.
The Cheltenham festival, naturally, supplied by far the most runners over the three days but backing them all would have given you a +£6.75 level stakes profit to Betfair SP.
The facts are running at the Cheltenham Festival on your previous start before coming on to Aintree is NOT a negative. Far from it in fact.
Horses with very few runs on the board in the past 12 months struggled to land a blow…
Race fitness is vital at this stage of the season. You may think that coming in fresh against a bunch of horses who have been on the go all season would be a positive, but you would be wrong, it is the opposite.
34 horses lined up having had 0 or 1 starts in the past 12 months and all 34 failed to score. In fact only 3 even managed to place.
If we stretch those parameters a bit further, to horses that have had 3 or less runs in the past 12 months, you get similarly disappointing stats…
It’s pays to be match fit when coming to Aintree in the Spring and those that haven’t seen much action in the past 12 months have struggled to land serious blows.
