Micro-Angles – Weekend Trainer Track Stats

Hi all,

After the Ladbrokes Newbury Winter Carnival, the horse racing action continues apace this weekend with the Tingle Creek Day at Sandown and not one, but two races over Aintree’s National fences on Saturday with the Becher Chase and Grand Sefton Chase the highlight of that card.

Plenty to get through this week and there is plenty for you stats fans to digest, so let’s crack on. This week, I am going to focus in some of the key trainer & jockey stats for the weekend’s National Hunt action and look at some of the key trends for the two big Aintree handicaps over the National fences.
