Finding winners in flat handicap races can be tricky, however, BetTurtle can help you quickly find the contenders to focus on.
This article presents the information and statistics we recommend to consider using in these races.
Many of these statistics can be used in race card filters and automated racing systems.
The Power of Horseshoes
BetTurtle horseshoes are easy to use and extremely powerful.
Below are the statistics for the most useful horseshoes in Flat Handicap races.
As you can see horses with green horseshoes significantly outperform red horseshoes in terms of win strike rate.
The number of green horseshoes is also a significant statistic and the more green horseshoes a horse has, the more chance it has of winning.
Top Trainers and Top Jockeys
Some trainers and jockeys outperform others in certain types of race. You can quickly spot the Top Trainers and Top Jockeys on BetTurtle Racecards as the image below shows (spot the yellow comet icons).
Below are the statistics for Top Jockey and Top Trainers in Flat Handicap races.
This stat shows that horses with a top trainer or a top jockey outperforms horses without. Finding a horse with both a top trainer and top jockey provides a significant edge and are always worth careful consideration.
Good Performance and Winners Last Time Out
Knowing whether a horse ran well or won last time out can provide a significant advantage in flat handicaps.
This information can be found by clicking the Stats Button and Form Tab on any BetTurtle race card. Horses that won last time, win twice as many flat handicap races as those that didn't.
Noted Horses
BetTurtle Enhanced and Professional subscribers have access to our Notebook Runners pointer report. This lists horses that we think are near winning and should be followed in upcoming races.
As the stat below shows, these do particularly well in Flat Handicap races.
