• FAVOURITES: Winning favourites in non-handicaps perform badly on the Rowley course scoring at 35% so down at around 10% compared to other courses. Favourites at this course win 220-666 for 33% and a level stake loss of -68.25 over the past 5 years. With the exception of 3yo winning favourites in handicaps 50-145 for 35% (+13.37), all other categories produce very mediocre results.
• TRAINERS: With the exception of Charlie Appleby all our leading trainers struggle to match their national averages on/at this course, even John Gosden resides at -4% below, William Haggas is -10% below.
• CHARLIE APPLEBY: The trainer excels on both the Newmarket courses and it has long been one of our favourite micro-systems. His Rowley numbers over the past 5 years show: 69-240 for 29% (+39.20). His all-time figures for this course show 98-374 for 26% (+80.86) winning £3,222,526 in prize money - an extraordinary record. He sends 5 to the course tomorrow, and the advice is if you are not playing him do not back against him! ✓✓✓
• AIDAN O'BRIEN'S has 8 entries for Saturday. He does well at the course, especially considering those multiple entries, and shows 27-162 for 17% (£5,485,352) and +7.65to level stakes. These figures are 4% above his UK national average of 13%. Worth reminding ourselves, from a strike rate/numbers point of view he does best in the UK with his 2yos and least well with his older horses.
• WILLIE MULLINS has 6 entered in the Cesarewitch including the first and second favourite!
• JOCKEYS: William Buick is the main beneficiary to the Appleby brilliance but his balance and judge of pace is top class. He is the only jockey to better his national average at this course. The jockey did get things wrong with Coroebus last time, doubt that will happen today!
• JOCKEY COLD LIST: Ryan Moore is well and truly on the jockey cold list with a losing run of 27 over 9 days. He has 7 rides today, what chance 0-36? That couldn't happen - could it? We will not be playing stop at a winner! CAPTAIN'S BAR 1.10, BLUEGRASS 1.45, UNITED NATIONS 2.20, GLOUNTHAUNE, M C MULDOON 3.35, BIMBLE 4.10 and  KHARTOUM 4.55. At the course this year he shows 4-48 for 8%. Andrea Atzeni is currently 0-22 over 14 days, he has 4 rides today. Hard to imagine the two jockeys named reaching 0-60.
• OWNERS: Godolphin win more races at this course than the next four owners put together 84 v 71. Backing the boys in blue blind over the past 5 years produces a profit of +42.48 to SP at level stakes. They have 7 entries today, stop at a winner? Runners include: HAFIT & GOLDSPUR 1.45, COROEBUS 2.20, NATIVE TRAIL 2.55, LIVE YOUR DREAM 3.55, BEDOUIN'S STORY and BARNEY ROY 4.55. ✓✓✓
• DID YOU KNOW: Frankie Dettori has ridden 272 winners on this course and 213 on the July course for a total 485. He looks on target to ride 500 winners before he retires. He has four rides tomorrow.
• All figures correct at 10.22am (08/10/2021). Results from Friday's meeting not included...
