The Stratford data that actually repeats
Before you back anything at Stratford, three numbers matter — and they come from 1,224 Stratford races in our settled-results database, not a pundit's hunch.
How often the favourite wins at Stratford
The SP favourite has won 39.3% of races at Stratford across 1,224 races. That is above the ~33% market-wide average — Stratford rewards the form horse more than most tracks, but it still loses two races in three. Blind favourite-backing is not a plan at Stratford.
