With the flat season drawing to a close during November, National Hunt horse racing takes centre stage.
November can be a tricky month to find horse racing winners with a large number of horses having their first runs of the season, trainers targeting longer term prizes for their horses and a large number of unexposed horses having their first runs over distances and race conditions.
Top National Hunt Trainers In November
To help you find betting opportunities, we have produced some trainer and course statistics to highlight positive betting returns from November races between 2021 and 2024.
Please note, positive results from the past offer no guarantee of future positive returns.
To qualify, a trainer needs to have had at least nine November course wins during the period.
Here are the results of this analysis.
As you can see from the table their are a number of trainers showing a healthy win strike rate over the period. It is no surprise to see Paul Nicholls, Dan Skelton and Nicky Henderson in the list. However, if you backed all of their horses during the month, you would have made a significant loss.
Trainers often target the same course and meetings each year. Particular standouts include;
- Olly Murphy at Aintree with a 33% strike rate and 92% ROI.
- Dan Skelton at Kempton with a 24% strike rate and a 27% ROI.
- Rebecca Menzies at Catterick with a 38% strike rate and a 117% ROI.
- Nicky Henderson at Exeter with a 45% strike rate and a 91% ROI.
