i’d be more interesred in trainers who have a history of giving the young apprentice in the stable a horse with a few pounds in hand for his/her birthday and saying happy birthday kid. it is happening and anybody who thinks it’s not is a fool. the problem still remains to find these trainers and second to find the birthdays of the young jocks
EC
I’m more than happy to be proven wrong if you have some statistics to support it. I just imagine my time is better spent watching replays of races than analysing runners of owners/trainers on their birthday.
How long would we need to monitor this system for as well to come up with reliable data? In 10 years, a trainer will only have 10 birthdays. Can we agree on that point?:biggrin: Surely we need a sample study of at least this size so we can work out which trainers ‘don’t give a monkeys’ and which like a ‘treat’. 10 years of work to monitor a system which might not even yield a profit doesn’t sound to me as the best way to occupy my time. Each to their own, I’ll leave it with you.
What is suggested is not as simplistic as you conceive it to be, David.
Nothing, but nothing, in this game should be viewed in isolation. It should be a pointer to look into the matter further. It may be assessed as a confirmatory factor in relation to a fancy, lead you to look at its form and conceive a fancy for it, or it may be viewed as an irrelevance, depending on all the rest of the background context relating to the horse, its connections and the race.
I expect the prices of such winners would tend to be rather good too.
Not all that significant. It was his only ride considering he’s based in France nowadays and was riding a French trained horse.
Clearly the horse has been saved to provide Deano with a winner on his birthday. Had nothing to do with the coincidental fact that there was a 20k four-year-old hurdle on heavy ground that would suit him down to the ground.
I consider myself enlightened. Anyone know who’s birthday it is tomorrow? Save me checking the form tonight. :biggrin:
See it’s Sue Smith’s birthday. How nice of Haydock to race today so she can win the Rendlesham with Patriarch Express.
A no-lose day also means a no-win day :cool:
I’m on. Should I find myself homeless if he doesn’t win, I expect some hospitality from you EC.
EC you’re going on about all the money you’ve been making off my idea and you call me a taker? come on you can surely do better than this at least post something that makes sense
