This strategy takes full advantage of one very valuable piece of information, to be found online using https://www.horseracing.net/stats
This strategy uses the section; Longest Travelers.
This shows which trainers have travelled the farthest distance to the meeting in question, trainers will travel a distance because they believe they have a good chance of winning the race. Here’s an example page;
The number of miles travelled is clearly indicated, and we are looking for trainers who have travelled > 250 miles with just one horse.
STEP 1:
List all races where a trainer has travelled > 250 miles with just one horse.
NB If any race has >1 traveller horse then you have two options – disregard the race OR dutch the stake on both horses.
STEP 2:
Next prioritise the races according to the amount of prize money on offer to the winner of individual races in relation to the distance travelled.
EG 250 miles and £2500 prize money = £10 per mile, 300 miles and £700 prize money = £2.33. Start with the LOWEST prize money/per miles travelled as your top bet. Usually the lower the prize money and the further the distance suggests why travel so far for such a low prize? The trainer can only really make money by backing his own horse!
NB – some times the trainer isn’t travelling to win, but another motive. Many of the horses that will meet these selections will be quite long odds. Unfortunately horse racing is not a completely honourable sport. Some horses are deliberately held back in earlier races so that their odds in their next race are quite long. Therefore we recommend that all these races are bet as each-way not just a straight win proposition.
So, by looking for long distance travellers, low prize money races and previous form we can identify probable e/w value bets.
