Wincanton Betting Trends & Statistics
Wincanton suits the speedier type as the course is rather sharp and when the ground is fast can favour those who like to make the pace.
The track is located near to top trainer Paul Nicholls’s yard and he is easily the most successful trainer at his local track both in winners and winning ratio. He also sends many of his nicer young horses here. Chris Gordon is also worth a mention with a win ratio of 22%.
Not surprisingly, as Paul Nicholls’s stable jockey, Harry Cobden is the top jockey at the track with an excellent 30% win ratio. A favourable mention must also be made for Daryl Jacob who also has a decent 30% win ratio although has ridden far fewer winners here than Cobden.
Wincanton Races History
Pau Nicholls has a staggering record at the course which is located close to his stables and has sent many of his superstars to Wincanton as a trial prior to bigger success. 2008 Cheltenham Gold winner Denman won twice here en route to bigger things whilst 1999 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner See More Business was unbeaten in three starts at the Somerset track. It’s not only Cheltenham Gold Cup winners that start out here as the 2012 Grand National winner Neptune Collonges also ran here winning easily by 13 lengths.
