Questions people ask
How often do favourites win in October jumps racing?
The summary table shows the same figures for each October from 2021.
Why does the favourite's strike rate fall in the third week of October?
The third week is when many seasonal returners reappear, and their fitness is harder for the market to judge. In October 2025, favourites won 32.2% that week.
Which race types produced the most reliable favourites in October?
The race type and country table splits chases, hurdles and bumpers in Britain and Ireland, with favourite strike rate for each. Bumpers and small-field chases often behave differently from big handicap hurdles.
Does October form carry into November?
October winners and close finishers are the groups to check first.
