Saturday Horse Racing Tips and Trends: 25th Jan 2020
Another huge day of horse racing this Saturday as it’s ‘Trials Day’ up at Cheltenham. This is their last meeting before the Festival in March, so plenty more clues to be had, including top races like the Cleeve Hurdle and Cotswold Chase.
The ITV cameras are also up at Doncaster to take in the best of their action, including the ultra-competitive SkyBet Chase – a race the Alan King yard has won twice in the last three seasons and a contest 12 of the last 14 winners were aged 9 or younger.
As always, we got it all covered with all the key trends – use these stats to help find the best past winning profiles to help whittle down the runners and hopefully pin-point a few winners.
So, as always, we’ve got it all covered here at RACING AHEAD with all the key trends, plus our verdict, on each of the LIVE ITV races – we’re confident these trends will point you in the direction of a few winners, or at least help narrow down some of the field to highlight the horses that fit the best profile of past winners – So, let’s get going!
