If you want to back a trainer on recent evidence, S G Tighe is the name to focus on right now. Over the past three months, Tighe's kennel has sent out 65 runners and returned 24 winners — a win rate of 36.9%. Add 13 further placed efforts and the combined win-and-place rate sits at 56.9%, meaning more than half of all runners from this yard end up in the frame.
Those are exceptional numbers. For context, a yard hitting 20% winners from a volume of runners would be considered very much in form. Getting on for four in ten is the kind of strike rate that shouts preparation and confidence from every angle.
Tighe has one runner on today's card: Good Acclaim, heading to Nottingham for the 20:01 OR sprint over 255 metres from trap 5. Regular followers of this site will already know Good Acclaim well — she has been in outstanding form, winning her last four starts and recording her best times of the year in recent weeks. The trainer's current form and the dog's own data are telling the same story tonight.
For anyone using the trainer stats page to find value, Tighe is the standout name in the current data. Whether the market reflects that or not, the underlying numbers are consistent and the sample size is large enough to treat them seriously.
