About the Book

Follow the Trainer, Not the Tipster is not another book of racing tips.
It’s a practical, evidence-based guide that shows you how to think like a professional punter by following the people who really know when a horse is ready to win — the trainers themselves.

Drawing on years of research, race-watching, and statistical analysis, the book reveals hidden patterns in how top UK trainers prepare and place their horses. It covers:

• Seasonal and track-specific habits that lead to consistent winners.
• Jockey partnerships that signal real intent.
• Quick turnaround and form-reversal angles that the betting public often overlooks.
• Value-hunting strategies for spotting overpriced runners.

Whether you’re a seasoned backer or a serious student of the game, this book will sharpen your eye for genuine betting opportunities.
