Sorry about the recent problems with the website. Unfortuantely, it was out of my control. You may notice a slight change to the website. The hosting company had no backup and I have lost the css so I have done my best for the moment. I am planning to rewrite the website so I don't want to spend too much time on the look for now and you can be assured that it won't be hosted with the current hosting company when I do.



Improve your Strike Rate using our Unique Horse Racing Ratings and Statistics

Fed up with trawling through the Formbook?

With the ukracestats ratings you can see all the vital form at a glance in a single colour coded excel spreadsheet highlighting all the vital statistics. In addition, you get Collateral Ratings, Speed Ratings (Flat only) and computer calculated odds for each runner.

Use the ratings to cut out the losing bets

No more throwing your money away on the 6/4 handicap snip when the trainer has a 0-30 run at the track or the odds on favourite with the poor sire statistics on today's ground. Instead, you can use the ratings to your advantage by laying the same horses on the betting exchanges.

With Ukracestats Ratings you can instantly identify


Going and Distance Requirements

You can easily view each horse's record on all types of going and over each distance. If you are unsure then you can also see the pedigree statistics which show the record of each sire's progeny going and distance record.

The Trainers Course Record

The ratings show the win/runs ratio at the track by race type. Profitable trainer trends are shown in bold. With these statistics alone you can identify many long priced winners.

When a trainer is likely to hit form

Many trainers have winners all year round but many have a discernable pattern which you can follow year after year. Backing all Ian Semple's runners in Feb, June, July and August would have yielded over 200 points profit in recent years. However, his record in September shows a 105 point loss and an overall strike rate of just 2%.

Significant Jockey Bookings

Ever wondered if a trainer's jockey booking is significant. The ratings show the wins/runs ratio and profitability for each combination for each runners. Again profitable combinations are shown in bold.

The likely Race Fitness of each Horse

Find out which horses need a break and which not to touch after more than 28 days off the track and those which only win when returned to the track within a few days.

The time of year when a horse is most likely to run well

Some horses only win at the same time of year. The veteran handicapper Tony Tie has won his fair share of races over the years but has a very modest record of 0-25 before June. Viewforth has a similar profile 0-18. He's gone off at at less than 6/1 on each of his first four runs this season.

The trainer's ability to train unraced or lightly raced horses

Some trainers are adept at preparing a two or three year old to be ready first time out and some prefer to leave something to work on. Mick Easterby as 2-132 record with 2 year old debutants in recent years and 0-59 with first time out 3 year olds.

If a horse likely to require a strong pace and if it is likely to get it?

Many horses can maintain a good cruising speed but lack acceleration. Rooster Booster is one such example and goes best in a large field. You can view each horse's record in fields of less than 10 runners, 10 - 15 runners and greater than 15 runners. The ratings also include a pace indicator showing which horses are likely to lead and which are likely to be held up.

Use the Ratings to

Build a profile of each horse in the race.

With the ratings you can identify the ideal conditions for each horse and only bet when you know for certain that all the conditions are in your favour. To give an example, Since 1999 Calcutta has won 12 races from 74 outings. All but one of those wins was on Good/Firm or Firm ground and never before May. All wins have been within 40 days of his previous run and he has a greater than 50% strike rate when returning within 7 days (6-11). His record in races with 16 runners or more is 0-36 and he has never won at a bigger price than 8/1 (0-35 when unfancied). 11 out of 12 wins have been on a galloping track
