Stayers' Hurdle Trends
We look at the trends of past Stayers' Hurdle winners in the search of clues for this year's renewal.
Stayers’ Hurdle
Race Profile: The leading long-distance hurdle race in the National Hunt calendar. It had been dominated in recent years by Big Buck’s but we have had a different winner for the past four renewals and there is now Thistlecrack to defend. Unowhatimeanharry has won his last 8 races and has developed into a smart hurdler. His is the short price favourite they all have to beat.
Race Trends:
22 of the last 27 winners finished in the top two last time out.
Only two Irish winners in the last 22 years.
Horses that fit all the trends:
Sam Spinner
Yanworth
The New One
Wholestone
