Predictable Trainers

Let me get one thing straight, making money from backing or indeed laying horses is not easy. You need a combination of many things I believe – hard work; a good understanding of what you are trying to achieve; some sort of specialism otherwise I feel there is simply too much racing and too many horses to gain a handle on; and finally a bit of luck.

This article focuses on two predictable trainers – predictable in the sense that we can be fairly confident that their past performances, with a certain type of runner, is likely to replicated in the future. The first trainer I am going to focus on is Sir Mark Prescott.

Prescott tends to bring his horses to their peak in the summer months and I am going to focus on his record in July and August from 2005 to 2010. I am also going to focus on his 3yo runners as they seem to be consistent year in year out. Here are the yearly results for his 3yos in these two months:

This article contimues with more in depth research into both Prescott and also Saeed Bin Suroor

Research includes issues such as days since last run and class of race etc
