Grand National tips: This is THE horse to bet on… And here is why

The Grand National takes place this afternoon with millions of people across the UK expected to place a bet on the nation’s favourite horse race.

Some of those punters will spend time studying form, weight and jockeys but the vast majority will go in blind and are in need of a little helping hand.

We have just that helping hand here to enable you to bet on the winner.

Looking over the past 20 years of winners, factoring in the name and age of the horse and the pattern and colour of the winning jockey’s silks, we could just have found this year’s winner.

  • 55% of winning horses in the past 20 races have had 2 words in their name
  • 80% of past winners have been bay in colour
  • The average age of a winning horse is 9.8 years old
  • 35% of winners have had 11 letters in their name
  • Green and yellow are the colours with 65% of winning jockeys wearing green and 40% wearing yellow!

In conclusion, Ucello Conti is the horse to bet on for new punters as despite his age, his name has two words, 11 letters, and the jockey will wear green/yellow.
