Favourites over jumps

Across 54 races the favourite won 44.8% of the time (26 of 58 bets, joint favourites counted separately) and £1 on every one returned a profit of 17.3p in the pound. The same bet at every UK and Irish course over jumps over the same window won 35.2% and lost 10.3p in the pound. That makes Catterick one of the few courses where backing every favourite over jumps has not lost money in this window, on a sample this size; a tendency, not a system.

The draw

Flat races with eight or more runners, each field split into thirds by stall number, and the winners counted. A third that wins more than its share of the runners is where the stalls have helped.

Over five and six furlongs the low stalls have won 64.4% of the races from 36.4% of the runners: a real lean to low. (59 races.) Over seven furlongs to a mile the low stalls have won 50.0% of the races from 36.8% of the runners: a real lean to low. (42 races.) Thirds are by stall number, so the lowest third holds the spare runner when a field does not divide by three; that is why the runner shares are unequal.

Who wins at Catterick

Trainers and jockeys with at least 15 runners and four winners here in the window. Strike rate is wins over runs; the return is £1 on every runner at SP. Thirty runs is a small sample, and the yards with the best strike rates are usually the yards with the best horses everywhere.

Method. Every settled race at Catterick in the OddsLens results database from 9 April 2025 to 8 September 2026 (official returns, starting price, non-runners excluded). "Favourite" means the shortest starting price in the race; joint favourites are each backed for £1. Ground is the official going for the meeting: soft, heavy and their variants against everything else. The draw study uses flat races with at least eight drawn runners, in two bands (five to six and a half furlongs; seven furlongs to a mile and half a furlong), each field split into thirds by stall number. Big handicaps are races with "handicap" in the title and 14 or more runners at SP. The OddsLens record is the public ledger only (no shadow models), settled calls, at the prices logged before the off. Sections with too few races to say anything true are left out. Recomputed weekly; this page was built on 10 September 2026.
