Stat of the Day, 28th September 2020
Saturday's pick was...

Monday's pick runs in the...
Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Normally, I'll identify and share the selection between 8.00am and 8.30am and I then add a more detailed write-up later within an hour or so of going "live".
Those happy to take the early price on trust can do so, whilst some might prefer to wait for my reasoning. As I fit the early service in around my family life, I can't give an exact timing on the posts, so I suggest you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for instant notifications of a published pick.
Who?
Union Rose @ 11/2 BOG
...in a 13-runner, Class 4, Flat Handicap for 3yo+ over 5½f on Good ground worth £5,208 to the winner...
Why?...
We start with the racecard...
...which primarily tells us that we've an in-form (won his last two) former course and distance winner who likes to run here at Bath as shown in the horses for courses report.
This 8 yr old gelding had back to wins earlier in the month (11 & 14th) at Sandown and then here at Bath, both under today's jockey, 3lb claimer Joshua Bryan, who was riding him for the first time.
So, let's have a quick look at the horses for courses report, which shows 5 wins and 2 further places for this horse here at Bath and they include...
- 5/12 (41.7%) at odds of 2/1 to 9/1
- 4/16 (25%) in handicaps
- 4/11 (36.4%) after less than 3 weeks rest
- 2/8 (25%) at Class 4
- 2/5 (40%) in a visor
- and 2/4 (50%) in September/October
As an LTO winner, it's worth noting that since the start of last year, trainer Ronald Harris is 6 from 35 (17.1% SR) for 10.95pts (+31.3% ROI) with LTO winners and these include...
- 6/23 (26.1%) sent off at 2/1 to 9/1
- 4/20 (20%) on the Flat
- 2/6 (33.3%) here at Bath
- and 2 from 3 (66.6%) in a visor...
...whilst more generally and more long-term (ie since 2016), Ronald has a successful habit of turning runners back out quickly after a good run, as his handicappers rested for a fortnight or less after a top three finish are 30 from 134 (22.4% SR) for 57.6pts (+43% ROI), including of note/relevance today...
- 29/126 (23%) at trips of 5-7 furlongs
- 24/99 (24.2%) from male runners
- 19/91 (20.9%) on the Flat
- 9/37 (24.3%) at Class 4
- 5/28 (17.9%) and here at Bath
...with males running over 5-7f on the Flat winning 15 of 64 (23.4% SR) for 29pts (+45.3% ROI), from which they are 7/22 (31.8%) at Class 4, 5/19 (26.3%) at Bath and 3 from 6 (50%) at Class 4 here at Bath...
...pointing towards... a 1pt win bet on Union Rose @ 11/2 BOG as was widely available (and bigger in places) at 8.00am Monday, but as always please check your own BOG status (*some firms are not BOG until later in the morning). To see a small sample of odds offered on this race...
