The Trainer Championship table is looking less fluid with every passing week. So we thought we would take this opportunity to check a different range of data.
Which are the trainers who it would have paid to follow from a punting perspective in 2019. For a variety of reasons, including an habitual lack of betting value, none of the familiar names feature on this particular table.
We have restricted the qualification to a minimum of 20 runners throughout the course of the year and it is Hove Jamie Kingsley who leads the pack – by some distance. Had you backed each of his 137 runners to a £1 stake, you would have back 21 winners and be showing a profit of £54.55.
In second place in Nottingham’s Lynn Cook. We reckon that will come as a surprise to many, given the esteem in which she is held at her local track. However, if you are going to produce an open race strike rate of 40% . . . . .
