I've obviously already made a start on the data digging for the 3-day meeting... which is where I uncovered the following...
Willie Mullins at the Aintree National Meeting...
Aintree, strangely enough, never used to be a meeting that Mullins made all that much of an impact at...
From 2003 to 2013 his stats at the Grand
National meeting read...
1/55 | 2% S/R | -£47.00 - W&P 17/55 | 31% S/R
79% below expectation
Then there was a change... and Mullins, as he does, started to fire in the winners... with his stats at Aintree since
2014 through to 2024 reading...
20/134 | 15% S/R | -£35.76 - W&P 48/134 | 36% S/R
3% below expectation
It's not quite 'domination' from Mullins... like he produces at Cheltenham... or the DRF... or
Punchestown... but compared to the stats he previously held at Aintree, it's quite a shift...
Is there a profitable area within those 2014-2024 stats?
Well... I'm glad you asked... cos I uncovered the following...
Willie Mullins | Aintree National Meeting | 4yo-9yo | 14 or less Career starts | WON 1 of last 4 starts | Previously won at Graded level
16/40 | 40% S/R | +£36.55 (+£48.22 BFLSP) - W&P 25/40 | 63% S/R
59% above exp | E/W = +£46.16
As always... not an angle I'm personally going to be following blindly... but I've plugged it into my HorseRaceBase database and when there is a qualifier I'll highlight them in my NTF Race Guides in the relevant race and I'll use the angle as part of my wider data-digging/narrowing the fields for the 3-day Aintree action...
