Hi everyone and thanks again for all your comments and input over the last few months.

We’ve been chatting behind the scenes here at Grand National Blog and we’ve decided that we will have an analysis page on all the races we think that might have some relevance to future Grand Nationals, starting with the Scottish National on the 19th April. I’ll start a page up with the basic trends in the next couple of days and we can start cracking away at that race as soon as possible, although I see some of you have beaten me to it!
A number of people have mentioned the possibility of analyzing the Derby, Leger, Guineas etc but, at the moment, we are focusing primarily on races that have a bearing on the Grand National and, as such, we won’t be focusing on any flat races.
There is a flourishing horseracing forum on the OLBG site (see link below) and this would be a good place to start any trend based discussion on the Flat Classics.

We will be looking to build up a list of races to focus on throughout the season that has a bearing on the National such as The Becher Chase, Irish National, William Hill Handicap, Eider Chase (Now that Comply Or Die has broken the bad record!), etc etc. Give us your thoughts on the races you would like to see included and we’ll come back with a list in the not too distant future.
Hope to see you all back as regular contributors throughout 2008 and into 2009.
