In Form Trainers

The recent form of a horse racing trainer is a vital component in assessing a horse’s chance in a race.

Often a racing stable will hit form with lots of their runners either winning or performing well. When a trainers horses are running well they are therefore described as being “in-form”.

What use is “Trainer Form” when Analysing a Race?

When analysing a race the “in-form trainers” is an important aspect to study.

Trainers in-form show the horses are running better than their current marks and have to be noted by punters.

The best horse racing tipsters are analysing the “top horse trainers last 14 days” form and using this data to form decisions on who to select in the race. It is often the case that these horses tended to be predicted as the winners, some even given nap of the day status.

As you study the form of the racehorses punters should always check who are the current HOT TRAINERS or those who like they are about to hit top form.

Why Do Punters search for Trainers with one runner today?

Shrewd bettors regularly search for today’s horse racing trainer with only one runner (aka One-trick Trainer) because they believe the trainer would not travel to a racecourse with a single runner if they genuinely did not feel it has a great chance of winning.

Travelling a long distance for only one runner today gives gamblers the mindset that “they are only travelling for one reason – and that’s to win”.

The horse racing stats highlighting the trainers with one runner today (one-trick trainer) is a good reason for many to place bets on them.

The One-trick trainers are the trainer with a single runner at a racecourse.

Is “Trainer Form” Just Counting Recent Winners?

Just counting the recent horse racing trainer winners to determine if the “trainers are in-form” is a false use of data.

The Racing Post has demonstrated a better “trainer form” analysis by looking at the trainer percentage-to-form figures. This is why they are one of the top horse racing publications and websites around.

Comparing the recent runners against the RPR rating accurately assesses if the horses are running higher than their current ratings. This is very important, particularly in handicap races and would

If a trainer has many recent winners but they were all weak races it does not mean the horse racing yards runners are expected to outrun their current official ratings.

How did Trainer Form use to be Measured?

The traditional means of measuring how well a horse racing yard is performing to the recent basic stats:

• Horse Racing Trainer has had ‘X’ number of winners
• Horse Racing Trainer has had ‘Y’ number of places
• Measured from their last ‘Z’ runners

These measurements do show a strike rate of the horse training yards stats, but cannot determine if the “trainer form” is above their standard performances. Basically what a good strike for one yard is may not be the same for another.

Revolutionary Timeform Trainer Rankings

The Timeform Trainer Ratings calculate exactly how each horse performs against expectation.

The stats of recent runners are calculated against the yard (with various adjustments for context) to create a deeper understanding and more accurate statistical interpretation of the result.

The data for each stable is then collated and compared against the average to determine whether they are currently a Hot Trainer (in-form trainer) or Cold Trainer (out-of-form trainer).

• The sun symbol appearing next to the trainer’s name on the Timeform racecard highlights that this is a “hot trainer” (horses are on fire and outperforming the current official ratings).
• The snow-flake symbol appearing next to the trainer’s name on the Timeform racecard highlights “cold trainer” (horses are out of form and underperforming against the average official ratings).

The horse racing trainers firing in the winners are easy to find, but the edge comes in pinpointing the in-form stables that are perhaps under the radar. So look out for the suns or snowflakes on a Timeform racecard.
