Claims that the bigger kennels are being favoured at Towcester are not borne out in reality.
While the likes of Mark Wallis, Kevin Hutton, Matt Dartnall and Chris Allsopp might be big names on the open race tables, the graded winner’s table shows a very different view.
The top three trainers, on percentages in June were Steve Roberts, Paul Philpott and Derek Law.
And that doesn’t represent a distorted short term anomaly. Veteran owner trainer Law, famously the owner of 1975 English Derby winner Tartan Khan, heads the table with a 35% strike rate.
If you are looking for a punt, choose Chris Jones (+£18) and NOT champion trainer Mark Wallis (-£171).
