Stat of the Day, 9th June 2018
Friday’s Pick was…
6.30 Goodwood : Oeil De Tigre @ 3/1 BOG WON at 9/4 (Pulled hard in touch, headway over 2f out, led over 1f out, soon hung badly right but ran on well to win by 3.5 lengths)
We continue with Saturday’s…
Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Generally, I’ll identify and share the selection in the evening before the following day’s race and I then add a detailed write-up later on that night/next morning.
Those happy to take the early price on trust can do so, whilst some might prefer to wait for my reasoning. As I fit the early service in around my family life, I can’t give an exact timing on the posts, so I suggest you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for instant notifications of a published pick.
Who?
No Lippy @ 11/4 BOG
A 13-runner, Fillies Conditions Stakes for 2yo over 5f on Good ground worth £21788 to the winner…
Why?
Well, as per the summary at the foot of our racecard, the last 17 runnings of this contest have been won by 11 LTO winners and 3 debutants and with just 3 LTO winners and no debutants today, I was drawn to this filly, who has previously run well enough in better company.
Her form to date reads 1191 with the “9” not being as bad as a 9 normally looks, it was actually a 3 length defeat in a Listed contest on the quickest ground she’s encountered to date, so no disgrace there.
Otherwise she’s 3/4 at 5 furlongs, 2/3 with today’s jockey (PJ McDonald who won for us on Thursday with Quantatmental), 2/2 at Class 2 and 2/2 on good ground.
It pays to be up with the pace over 5f at Beverley and she’s one of just two who like to lead here and although it’s generally perceived that a high draw (she’s in 12) isn’t great here, the data on our Pace/Draw analysis says otherwise and she’ll also be helped by the other pace angle being next to her in 11.
And the stats behind the pick?
Well, I ignored the obvious/easy route of telling you to back Mark Johnston runners at Beverley, as much has already been made of this both in this column and elsewhere and whilst it is of course valid, we do like to find you something different for SotD.
So, yes it is a Mark Johnston runner at Beverley, but did you know that since the start of 2014, his runners who won LTO 1-25 days earlier at the same class & distance are 28 from 98 (28.3% SR) for 57.4pts (+58% ROI)?
And of those 98…
- those who won by just a neck to 2 lengths LTO are 17/63 (27%) for 67.6pts (+107%)
- at Class 2 : 6/31 (19.4%) for 52.7pts (+170%)
- on good ground : 4/13 (30.8%) for 48.5pts (+373%)
…and Class 2 runners who won by just a neck to 2 lengths LTO are 6 from 24 (25% SR) for 59.7pts (+248.7% ROI), with a 2/5 (40%) record on good ground yielding 53.67pts at an ROI of 1053.4%. This allied to MJ’s well-documented Beverley record…
…gives us…a 1pt win bet on No Lippy @ 11/4 BOG , which was available from Ladbrokes & Paddy Power at 5.55pm on Friday. To see what your preferred bookie is offering, simply…

REMINDER: THERE IS NO STAT OF THE DAY ON SUNDAYS
P.S. all P/L returns quoted in the stats above are to Betfair SP, as I NEVER bet to ISP and neither should you. I always use BOG bookies for SotD, wherever possible, but I use BFSP for the stats as it is the nearest approximation I can give, so I actually expect to beat the returns I use to support my picks. If that’s unclear, please ask!
