Understanding Favourite Stats

This is the heart of the app. When you select Favourite Stats, you’ll see a list of all UK racecourses and how the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd favourites have performed over the last 35 years.

Each racecourse displays:

• Profit/Loss – total return from £1 stakes
• Strike Rate – win percentage
• ROI – percentage profit or loss
• Sample Size – number of races included

Why ROI matters

ROI is the clearest indicator of long term performance. A +20% ROI means £1 stakes returned £1.20 on average.

Why sample size matters

A stat with 35 races means roughly one race per year. It can still be useful—but larger groups are more reliable. The app helps you build those larger, stronger samples.
