A Million Little Truths: One Good Horse , a memoir by Tom Groneburg

1. Following A Trainer's Course Statistics

The placing of horses is one of the most important factors in the jigsaw of training. Some trainers insist in doing this themselves whereas others find that to do this effectively with a lot of horses is too time consuming and distracts them from the core element of hands on analysis of the horses progress. In either case the placer will tend to rely, where possible on courses where the horses run best.

So what causes this belief that a stables horses run well on some courses and not on others? Yes, some of this is psychological, due to the trainer having good memories at a preferred course. However there is plenty of evidence, and the Trainer Trends E-book is as good as you can get in clearly demonstrating that there is not only horses for courses but 'Trainers For Courses'. It is natural for trainers planning a coup to stick to courses that they feel confident will suit their horses. Other elements such as the altitude, the local water and the program book are all other factors but the trainer trends publication clearly shows that a select band of trainers seem to excel year on year at certain race tracks.

2. Take Advantage Of The Inflated Odds Offered On The Betting Exchanges

Betting exchanges were introduced in 2000. Since then, many have written about the pro's and cons of this ever growing phenomenon. Whatever side of the fence you sit on one thing is for sure...once you have an edge it can make an enormous difference to your profits. The Trainer Trends recommendations in 2005 exemplify this. Out of 414 bets, 110 were winning wagers. Over this betting sequence, someone using this system and taking the starting price would have netted a level stakes profit of +£319.84; that’s £31,984 if you were betting with £100 stakes. If for each bet you had taken a price on www.betfair.com just before the start of each race, the figures would read +£488.64; that's £48,864 if you were betting with £100 stakes. That's an extra £16,880 (53%) more than the gains had you taken the starting price, even with a 5% commission factored in.

The average starting price for the 414 bets was 10.86, the average price taking the odds on Betfair just before the start of the race was 16.44. The difference is crystal clear.

The Trainer Trends publication hits the nail on the head and the bookmaker where it hurts. This product is profitable, well presented and it’s an easy read for just about anyone. If you are serious about making your betting pay it really is a must read.

Jason Solli, a leading horse racing strategist, has been involved in the racing industry for nearly fifteen years. Since 2000 he has been compiling an extensive database that analyzes every variable related to the reading of a race. This database has allowed him to identify a concrete mechanism for profiting from the sport. "Trainer Trends” is his first book and has been widely praised. Leading trainer Mark Polglase: "Now we don't have to tax ourselves on the 'whys and wherefore' we just have to look at the data that Jason Solli has comprehensively been compiling and sit back and reap the rewards." http://www.trainertrends.com
