Which
Gold Coast trainer has the best win strike rate ?
Friday 15 August, 2008:
The
answer might surprise. If you answered Alan Bailey, Bryan Guy or even
Gillian Heinrich, you would be wrong.
The Gold Coast trainer with the best win strike rate in the 2007/2008
Brisbane Trainers Premiership was Trevor Bailey.
Trevor Bailey recorded a win strike rate of 5.8, which simply mean that
Trevor led in a winner every 5.8 starters.
As an owner, the win strike rate is vital. In these
days of
increasing training
costs, it’s crucial that horses don’t stay out of the winners circle for
too
long.
The win strike
rate figure is also an important snapshot of the trainers ability to place
horses. Running where you are capable of winning means owners are getting a
better return on investment, rather than just making up the numbers.
Last season
Trevor Bailey prepared 9 city winners from just 53 starters,
with 30 horses in work.
Among those winners were two stakeswinners in rejuvenated mares Fabiarna and
Perfect Feeling,
who both no head to the breeding barn with vital black type.
Whilst Trevor’s
strike rate
figures
were the best of
any
Gold Coast
trainer,
he also narrowly missed claiming statewide strike rate honours.
Premiership winning Eagle Farm trainer Barry Baldwin piped
Trevor
Bailey at
the post with a win strike rate of 5.7.
At home on the Gold Coast, Trevor Bailey prepared a
highly
creditable
18 winners for the season finishing a close fourth behind father Alan Bailey
who claimed yet another home title.
