Rare journeys

courses a yard seldom visits for its size, where it strikes at 30%+

Rare journey
Daniel Skelton at Sedgefield

6 winners from 19 runners (32%) at the course in five years. Only 0.4% of the yard’s 4,528 runners have gone there, so it is a trip the yard seldom makes. The market expected 5. The yard has won with 22% of its runners over the last year. -2.0 pts to 1pt level stakes at SP.

3 runners from the yard today on a trip it seldom makes: finding the intended one is the job.

How rare journeys have done. Over the last three years (1,494 runners) they won 19% of the time, 1.06× what their prices implied: +22.3% at Betfair SP to level stakes (+4%, +17% and +48% in the three years to September) and -0.3% at SP. Big-priced winners make the difference (the biggest at 50/1): without the five biggest it was +4.4%.
Scratched today: 3 races. Two or more of the board’s runners met in the same race, so the race is left alone and none of them is listed: 15:20 Sedgefield (2), 16:20 Sedgefield (2), 17:00 Limerick (2). Over the last three years the runners the board would have sent into such races won 12% of the time and returned -3.4% at Betfair SP, against 14% and +10.1% for the runners it keeps.

How the board picks

Four angles, one pointer a race

1Jockey and sire records at today’s course (same code) over five years, at least 20 runs and 5 winners: all ranked by winners against what the market expected, so a record built on backing favourites does not top the list. Only those that clear the bar.
2Trainers at the course: 10+ runs there (same code) in five years at 30%+, the yard 10%+ over the last year, priced Evens or bigger.
3Rare journeys: a course that takes 2% or less of the yard’s runners, where it has 3+ runs, 2+ winners and 30%+; the yard 10%+ over the year; priced Evens or bigger.
4One pointer a race: where two or more of the board’s runners meet in the same race, the race is scratched and none of them is listed. The angles that pointed there lose those runners.
5Each stat is listed once, with every runner it covers; up to 25 a day.
Keep it in proportion

These are the day’s most interesting records, not tips. Over the last three years the board’s runners won about as often as their prices said (1.04×; +10.1% at Betfair SP, against -3.2% for every runner): across the whole board, connection stats look largely priced in. Separate from the Daily Dial record.
