Horse Racing Trends: Saturday 13th April 2019

We’ve something for everyone this weekend with decent flat turf action from Newbury and Thirsk, plus National Hunt fans get their fix with cards at Ayr and Bangor.

The ITV4 cameras will also be at both Ayr and Newbury this week to take in nine races across the two venues.

Fresh from the National fever of last Saturday the bandwagon heads north of the border for the Scottish version at Ayr.

Did you know? ALL of the last sixteen Scottish Grand National winners ran within the last 57 days, while fourteen of the last sixteen succesful horses were aged eight or older.

Newbury also hosts the Group Three Greenham Stakes as the flat turf action ramps-up a few more notches – a prize the Hannon yard have won five times in the last sixteen runnings.

As always, to help you through the cards we’ve picked some quickfire standout stats and trends that are certainly worth paying attention too.

Plus, you can get more help finding the winner for all this Saturday’s races on our Racing Tips page.
