In many cases, there is nothing strange about many Festival statistics, but for some reason this made me double-check. With further thought, however, it makes perfect sense.
FACT: Since 2003 there have been 219 G1 races at the Festival. 68 of those races, almost a third, have been contested by horses who have raced in the last 15 days. None of them won and there were only 7 horses placed.
RULE: Do not back any horse in a Grade 1 Festival race that has raced within the last 15 days.
By suscribing to Raceweb, you’ll receive notification of every story, tip and article we post.
You’ll see every tip for every sport, by every writer first. The moment we print it, you’ll know it.
PLUS, whenever we issue a special report on, say Cheltenham or Royal Ascot, you’ll be the first to know!
Annual domain registrations, site hosting, software licences, form guides, research costs and a host of other minor and but not inconsequential outgoings are the burden for all website owners.
Even the smallest donation can make the difference between the Off and On switch.
It’s not just that once in a while we actually prove accurate, and you possibly make a bit of pocket money, but occasionally, we might perhaps suggest a view that could possibly change someone’s mind. For the better.
That’s a lot of Maybes and Possiblies, but sometimes we have to try and change a plan or encourage them to move a mountain, and if that means we make you smile, or shout with anger, or shake with laughter, then Huzzah!
That’s your donation that did that. Thank You.
