Sire stats are still relatively underused by the general betting fraternity, me included. My favoured betting medium has always been all age handicaps, especially sprints, so for me, the use of sire stats has never been top of my list. However, for punters betting on unexposed 2 year olds, or horses that have yet to race on certain going, sire stats can be an invaluable tool. With the all weather season soon to be upon us, I thought I would compare the records of sires on turf and the all weather. The data collated is from Jan 1st 2000 to the middle of September 2009 – sires with 50 runs or more on the all weather and 100 or more runs on the turf have been included.
My idea for the research is fairly simple to note sires that seem to perform significantly better on either turf, or on the all weather. Firstly then, which horses perform much better on the all weather compared with the turf? Below is a table showing the relevant sires with their overall strike rate on the all weather, their overall strike rate on turf, and a calculation simply dividing their all weather strike rate by their turf strike rate.
