Stat of the Day, 22nd October 2019

Monday’s pick was…

7.30 Southwell : Atalanta Queen @ 4/1 BOG 2nd at 4/1 (Led, headed over 4f out, tracked leaders, ridden 2f out, rallied to lead again inside final furlong, soon headed)

Tuesday’s pick runs in the…

3.10 Newcastle :

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?

Equiano Springs @ 13/2 BOG

…in a 14-runner, Class 2, Optional Claiming Handicap for 4yo+ over 6f on tapeta worth £18,675 to the winner…

Why?…

Tom Tate and Andrew ‘Midge’ Mullen have a great record together. In the last two years, they’ve teamed up for five winners from 21 runners including Monday’s 13/2 scorer, Young Tiger. That brought their two-year record to +20.25 points.

Specifically in Newcastle handicaps over the past five years, they’ve a phenomenal 34.62% win rate (nine winners from 26 runners, five further places, +61.50, A/E 2.48, IV 3.4).

Equiano Springs has been a big part of that success. His career record at Newcastle is 11661221, but when Mullen has steered that form string improves to 11221 (+17.oo).

Ostensibly drawn close to the little pace there is within the high numbers, Messrs. Tate, Mullen and Springs have an excellent chance of adding a fifth course win, and look over-priced to do that…

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!
