Trainers and Sires
The approach I’m sharing with you in this article is an angle that has been on my wider radar for a number of years, indeed some of you reading this piece may have picked up a free guide that I released at the start of November covering this exact method (although not the same angles... so definitely worth your while reading this article as well!) ...
Basically, what I’m looking at here are five National Hunt Trainers and then pinpointing the sire(s) that they know inside out and a have a strong recent record at getting their offspring winning and placing on the racetrack...
Certain trainers just know exactly how to get inside the mind of the offspring of certain sires... they know what makes them tick and they know where and how to position them to get the very best out of them...
Now, it’s worth pointing out at this juncture that although I will be presenting the stats in an angle/system style format, it’s not necessarily an approach I follow in such a way...
You could do that if you wanted to... there is nothing stopping you from doing that... but I personally prefer to use the data I uncover during this process as a guide or a pointer...
For example, if I see a certain trainer sending a horse over hurdles for the first time and I know that trainer has an excellent record with the same offspring when saddling them on hurdle debut, then that’s a big indicator for me to look closer at the horse...
…it’s a solid tick in one box and a robust confident booster for that horse’s prospects...
As always, flexibility is a key factor to keep in mind when sourcing, investigating, and following these angles... if you are too stiff then you just might miss the juiciest of juicy fruits...
So, let’s get started...
TRAINERS AND SIRES
*All stats taken from 2013 – 2023 unless otherwise stated
HENRY DE BROMHEAD
SIRE - MAHLER
Overall record with MAHLER offspring
26/111 | 23% S/R | +£2.28 BFLSP - W&P 46/111 | 41% S/R
23% above expectation
Some decent strike-rates at play for Henry De Bromhead and the Mahler kids, with the overall win and place strike-rate of 41% certainly catching the eye.
Only a small level stakes profit means we need to dig a little bit deeper for decent returns, but overall, the signs are very encouraging. Notable Mahler offspring for De Bromhead since 2013 would include ORNAU, CHRIS’S DREAM and JOURNEY WITH ME...
The Sweet spot for Henry De Bromhead and the offspring of Mahler...
H De Bromhead | Mahler Offspring aged 4yo to 8yo | trips of 2m to 2m4f | SP 7/1 or less
20/36 | 56% S/R | +£44.50 BFLSP - W&P 27/36 | 75% S/R
89% above expectation.

System 33: Back the Mahler progeny when running from the Bromhead stable when fitting the above criteria.
Other notes to consider...
- Good record with the Mahler offspring in Novice Chases and Beginners Chases... 11/29, 7p | +£17.97 BFLSP
- Good record with the Mahler offspring in Hurdle races over 2m – 2m4f and that start in the first three in the betting... 8/16, 4p | +£16.74 BFLSP.

7% above expectation
Jonjo O’Neill can really get a tune out of the Fame And Glory offspring and the overall stats are very pleasing on the eye on their own. Notable Fame And Glory offspring for the Jonjo O’Neill yard since 2013 would include SOARING GLORY and COEUR SEREIN...
Fame And Glory sadly passed away in 2017 but he still has a good amount of his offspring on the go and doing the business for him, with a number of them stabled at the Jonjo O’Neill yard...
