Really decent course form from this filly, a course and distance winner, also a second in class 6 handicaps and third place last time out in a class 5, 0-70 handicap. The first and second in the race were rated 69.
Todays race is a 0-65 handicap with the top weight rated 66, the new BHA rules let horses rated 66 squeeze into 0-65 handicaps.
Lets start with the jockey Ben Curtis. His record on the horse is raced 4 times, 1 winner, 2nd and two unplaced efforts. He has 25% win record and 50% place record on this filly. Ben’s record at Chelmsford is 123 rides 19 winners 15% strike rate and 20 placed. Combining the win and place rides Ben has a 31% chance on his horse being placed. Ben’s record riding for the trainer is 52 rides, 9 winners and 9 placed, again winner and placed horses combined gives us a staggering 34%.
The stats for the trainer at first glance 36 runners and only 3 winners, 6 placed 25% strike place rate. However when you delve deeper he is 3 from 8 when horse is dropped in class which is the case today.
