Upcoming RACECOURSE TEMPLATES:
Lingfield AW (Monday 24 March 2025)
Kempton AW (Wednesday 26 March 2025)

RACECOURSE TEMPLATES: Racecourse Templates identifies areas that carry compelling figures, whilst confirming where the biggest strike rates reside. More advanced bettors will be aware of their existence, less so the extent. Whether the figures contain perceived value is another matter, but TRH has identified a seam from which one can mine. For example, our last Wolverhampton Racecourse Template 'highlighted information' found ALL 9 WINNERS!

WOLVERHAMPTON AW RACECOURSE TEMPLATE (Monday 17 March 2025)

CONFIGURATION: The all-weather course at Wolverhampton forms a flat, left-handed oval circuit of just under a mile in length. The bends are fairly sharp and with a straight of under 2f in length it favours horses with the ability to hold a good position as opposed to those who need time to find full stride.

JASON WEAVER: Wolverhampton’s 5f, 7f and extended 1m starts can be tricky from a jockey’s point of view, because they’re very much draw-dependent. It’s a big advantage being among the low, left-hand numbers. The 1m 4f start can also be a slight problem, but at least from there you’ve got a longer trip to get sorted out. Nobody went round the inside in the early days and, while I’m not sure it’s a disadvantage to be there now, most jocks still shy away from that rail. It’s a tight course, but well laid-out and very fair.

WINNING FAVOURITES:  Despite the poor quality of racing at Wolverhampton, winning favourites generally have high strike rates, particularly in non-handicap, low-tier races. The wisdom of the crowd is clearly in play and working at this racecourse, and it certainly pays to wager late here or even better just before the off. It's important to note that the 5f, 7f, and extended 1m starts can be challenging for jockeys, and the 1m4f start may also present difficulties. Nevertheless, the high strike rate persists despite these adverse draw conditions. The substantial sample size at this course lends much credibility to the data, with absolutely no signs of fatigue!

Responsible gambling and taking responsibility for a bet is not remotely the same thing, they are distinctly different concepts. The term 'responsible gambling' is commonly used by bookmakers and authorities to describe the behavior of the majority who bet for entertainment, leisure, and accept the possibility of loss. In contrast, taking RESPONSIBILITY for a bet is a principle that applies to the more serious and astute bettors who aim to avoid losses or generate a secondary income from sports betting.
