April Trainers 2015
Trainers in April 2015 (Punter Profits)
Trainers tend to be creatures of habit and in this article I am looking at flat racing performance in April over the past five seasons (2010 to 2014) in the UK. It is the first full month of the flat season and helps knowing which trainers are more ‘ready’ than others. Profits and losses in this article have been calculated to £1 level stakes to SP.
All Races
Here is the data for all races - I have used 80 runners as a minimum and placed trainers in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the trainers you are looking for.
