Racing Trends Revealed: National Hunt 2008/09
The Road to Cheltenham
David Myers
ABOUT THE BOOK:
Every major race and festival in the 2008/9 National Hunt season has been placed under the spotlight in this unprecedented compilation of racing statistics. By highlighting the vital clues that pinpoint the winner's profile, along with exclusive 'future pointers', Racing Trends Revealed shows whether individual winners of big races should be followed or avoided in the future. Covering all the major races in Britain and Ireland, this unique winner-finding tool includes: * Extended 12-year trend tables for over 120 Graded races and major betting handicaps in Britain plus over 30 Graded events in Ireland - featuring previous form, age, weight, SP and trainer. * Every major race spotlighted reveals the winners' subsequent four outings – invaluable statistics that have never been published before. * Trends tables accompanied with bite-size analysis, packed full of handy trends hints. * Performance ratings for every past winner plus exclusive future success ratings. Following on from the remarkable achievement of the companion volume to the 2008 Flat racing season, Myers' latest work takes the guesswork out of choosing winners: the answers are here, for all to find.

'It doesn't pretend to tell you what will win, but it aims to point out what type of horse is likely to win, which according to those in Telegraph Towers who like a punt may be jolly useful information.' - Andrew Baker, The Telegraph [read the full review] 'Readers who enjoy big-race trends and are looking to get ahead could do far worse than pick up a copy of Racing Trends Revealed National Hunt 08/09' - Racing Post [read the full review]

'another weapon to add to the arsenal for the coming season. ' - The Irish Field [read the full review]
With Cheltenham over, the attention of many punters is turning to the flat, and Racing Trends Revealed: Flat 2008 by David Myers is another weapon to add to the arsenal for the coming season. Following trends may not have proved too profitable at Cheltenham this year - Champion Hurdle winner Katchit was opposed on the grounds that a five-year-old had rarely won the race, while World Hurdle hero Inglis Drever was another battling the statistics. However, in the long term, it can be a valuable guide, when approached with an open mind. Racing Trends Revealed covers over 200 major races in Britain and Ireland, looking at the last 12 runnings of each one, before giving a 'Winner's Profile', which takes some of the clues and gives a concise portrait of the likely winner based on the strongest trends. 'Future Pointers' deals with how the main players in previous runnings have fared in their next outings, and whether they were profitable to follow. The 'Future Success Rating' is a simple five-star system which shows the strength of the race, on the basis of the achievements of not just the winner, but the placed horses also. Unsurprisingly, the Derrinstown Stud Derby Trial, gets top marks and is nominated as 'one of the best future pointers in this book'.
