Questions people ask

Which age wins most often over jumps?

In the 2025/26 jumps season, runners aged 6 had the highest strike rate at 13.6%. The race type table splits that into chases, hurdles and bumpers.

How does win rate by age compare on the Flat and over jumps?

Flat horses tend to peak earlier, and the Flat table runs from two-year-olds upwards. Jumps runners reach their best strike rates later, especially over fences.

Should I be wary of a ten-year-old in a big-field handicap chase?

Read the ten-year-old row with the runs figure, since older groups have smaller samples.
