This Saturday’s Ascot Shergar Cup is not everyone’s cup of tea, but the horse racing team event has stood the test of time – having been first run in 2000. <\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve six more races this weekend as jockeys from all over the globe head to the Berkshire track. So with a fair bit of history built up – we take a look at the Shergar Cup trends and stats that will help find the best profiles based on past winners.<\/p>\n

Shergar Cup Returns to Ascot On Saturday For The 24th Renewal<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"Ascot
The Ascot Shergar Cup Has Been Going Since 2000<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

See below the key Ascot Shergar Cup trends as we run over the key stats for ALL six races this Saturday.<\/p>\n

These stats are based on recent runnings of each race, that highlight key patterns that have built up over the years – including the best draws, weight, ages and the top stables to follow.<\/p>\n

The event was first staged in 2000 and running every year bar two since.<\/p>\n

For those that don’t know the Shergar Cup format<\/a> – it’s basically a horse racing team event where four teams (or three jockeys each) compete for points over the six races.<\/p>\n

The better a horse does, means more points that jockey will win for their team.<\/p>\n

And, of course, the team with the most points at the end of racing will win the Shergar Cup.<\/p>\n

The teams this year are split into Asia, Europe, GB and Ireland and Rest Of The World.<\/p>\n

In past events, the Girls team have won three of the last four Shergar Cups, but the lady riders are in the other teams this time. There is no Girls Team.<\/p>\n

However, two female riders – Hollie Doyle and Jo Mason – make up 67% of the GB and Ireland team, so are sure to be well-fancied with the horse racing betting sites<\/a> in the races they are riding in.<\/p>\n

Plus being based in the UK, Doyle and Mason will be far more experienced riding at Ascot than most of the other overseas jockeys.<\/p>\n

  • Dream Composer was third in last two runnings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks: <\/strong>DREAM COMPOSER has run well in this race in the past – third the last two years and has also been handed the hot stall 7. Trainer Robert Cowell has done well in the race too and his SEVEN QUESTIONS could outrun his odds also ticking one of the Shergar Cup trends here (4 year-old), having track experience and at least four runs this season.<\/p>\n

    • 18\/20 \u2013 9\/1 or shorter in the betting<\/li>\n
    • 18\/20 \u2013 Didn\u2019t win last time out<\/li>\n

    • 12\/20 \u2013 Raced at either Ascot (5) or Goodwood (7) last time out<\/li>\n
    • 12\/20 \u2013 Top 3 in the betting<\/li>\n
    • 7\/20 \u2013 Favourites<\/li>\n
    • 2\/20 \u2013 Trained by Ian Williams<\/li>\n

    • The last 8 winners carried 9-2 or more<\/li>\n
    • Trainer Andrew Balding has won 2 of the last 6<\/li>\n
    • Horses from stall 9 placed in the top three in 7 of the last 16 runnings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks: <\/strong>Trainers Ian Williams and Andrew Balding have good records here and run Enemy (Williams), Dancing In Paris (Williams) and Spirit Mixer (Balding) Wild Waves (Balding) – but some fall down on other key trends like age and winning last time out. 17 of the last 20 were also rated 86-95, which is a plus for the 6 year-old SCOTTISH ANTHEM rated 86. While of those others mentioned DANCING IN PARIS, who also ticks the ‘running at Goodwood last time’ trend, is also feared.<\/p>\n

      2:45 – Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Challenge (Handicap) Cl3 1m4f ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • 19\/20 \u2013 6 or younger<\/li>\n
      • 18\/20 \u2013 Carried 9-2 or more in weight<\/li>\n
      • 18\/20 \u2013 Ran within the last 5 weeks<\/li>\n
      • 17\/20 \u2013 Won between 1-4 times<\/li>\n
      • 17\/20 \u2013 Officially rated between 87-94<\/li>\n
      • 17\/20 \u2013 Won over 1m3f (or further)<\/li>\n
      • 12\/20 \u2013 Aged 4 years-old<\/li>\n
      • 10\/20 \u2013 Top 3 last time out<\/li>\n
      • 9\/20 \u2013 9\/1 or bigger<\/li>\n
      • 8\/20 \u2013 Had run at Ascot previously<\/li>\n
      • 6\/20 \u2013 Won last time out<\/li>\n
      • 2\/20 \u2013 Favourites that won<\/li>\n
      • Andrew Balding has won 2 of the last 6 runnings<\/li>\n
      • 7 of the last 9 winners aged 4 or 5<\/li>\n
      • 3 of the last 6 winners from stall 1 (last 2)<\/li>\n
      • 4 of the last 18 winners came from stall 5<\/li>\n
      • 11 of the last 18 winners came from stalls 5-8 (inc)<\/li>\n
      • Insanity (9\/2) won the race last year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks:\u00a0<\/strong>Insanity won this last year and goes again off a 5lb higher mark. 7 of the last 9 winners were aged 4 or 5, so this is a plus for many – while the last two winners came from stall 1 (Great Bedwyn). It’s not been a great race for the market leader (2\/18) either – Night Breeze could go off as favourite. But this is another race that trainer Andrew Balding has done well – he runs CANDYMAN STAN, who could bounce back from two poor runs after a good start to the season.<\/p>\n

        3:20 – Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Sprint (Handicap) (Bobis Race) Cl2 6f ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • 18\/20 \u2013 Ran in the last 4-5 weeks<\/li>\n
        • 18\/20 \u2013 Won over 6f previously<\/li>\n
        • 17\/20 \u2013 8\/1 or shorter<\/li>\n
        • 15\/20 \u2013 Won between 2-3 times<\/li>\n
        • 14\/20 \u2013 6\/1 or shorter<\/li>\n
        • 14\/20 \u2013 Placed favourites<\/li>\n
        • 14\/20 \u2013 Officially rated between 86-95<\/li>\n
        • 14\/20 \u2013 Top three in the betting market<\/li>\n
        • 7\/20 \u2013 Won last race<\/li>\n
        • 7\/20 \u2013 Favourites<\/li>\n
        • 4 of the last 5 favourites won<\/li>\n
        • 4 of the last 5 winners drawn between 9-12 (inc)<\/li>\n
        • 7 of the last 17 winners came from stalls 5-8 (inc)<\/li>\n
        • 4 of the last 9 winners came from stall 12<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks:\u00a0<\/strong>This has been a good race for the favourites – with four of the last five winning – Prince Of India could be the market leader. 80% of the last five winners were drawn between 9-12 too and stall 12 has been hot (4 wins in 9) – so this is a plus for DYONISOS. The winner has tended to come from a horse priced 8\/1 or less though – so MARCHOGION catches the eye – who is yet another for trainer Andrew Balding.<\/p>\n

          3:55 – Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup Classic (Handicap) (Bobis Race) Cl3 1m4f \u2013 ITV<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          • 12\/15 \u2013 Officially rated between 84-92<\/li>\n
          • 12\/15 \u2013 8\/1 or shorter in the betting<\/li>\n
          • 12\/15 \u2013 Winning distance of 1 length or less<\/li>\n
          • 11\/15 \u2013 Won over 1m2f or further<\/li>\n
          • 7\/15 \u2013 Placed favourites<\/li>\n
          • 4\/15 \u2013 Raced at Ascot last time out<\/li>\n
          • 4\/15 \u2013 Trained by the Johnston yard (2 of the last 5)<\/li>\n
          • 4\/15 \u2013 Favourites<\/li>\n
          • 10 of the last 15 winners came from stalls 5, 7 or 8<\/li>\n
          • 10 of the last 11 winners came between stalls 5 and 9<\/li>\n
          • 8 of the last 9 winners between stalls 6-9<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks:\u00a0<\/strong>This has been a good race for the Johnston yard with two wins in the last five – they run MDAWI. While stalls 6-9 have done well too – so Hackney Diamonds, Montpellier Green, and Prince Of The Seas tick this. But two other yards that have won this recently are William Haggas and Andrew Balding and they run likely favourites Tenability and Topteam. In a race that looks a three-way shootout between the top trio in the betting.<\/p>\n

            • 18\/20 \u2013 Priced 8\/1 or shorter<\/li>\n

            • 15\/20 \u2013 Won between 2-4 times<\/li>\n
            • 15\/20 \u2013 Favourites finished in the top 4<\/li>\n
            • 12\/20 \u2013 Raced at Ascot before<\/li>\n
            • 5\/20 \u2013 Raced at Goodwood last time out<\/li>\n
            • 6\/20 \u2013Favourites<\/li>\n
            • Only 3 of the last 18 winners came from stall 1<\/li>\n
            • 4 of the last 8 winners came from stall 12<\/li>\n
            • 14 or the last 18 winners 6\/1 or shorter<\/li>\n
            • 5 of the last 6 winners between stalls 9-12 (inc)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              \ud83d\udccaTrends Picks:\u00a0<\/strong>The stats here tell us 50% of the last eight winners came from stall 12 – which is a plus for Two Tempting, but at 6 he falls down on the age stat. Five of the last six winners came between gates 9-12 though, which is a thumbs up for Brave Emperor, Arisaig and Royal Ascot scorer Miss Information. With that in mind, the 4 year-old ARISAG, who was well at Sandown last time, is interesting. While recent Goodwood silver EBT’S GUARD also ticks another of these Shergar Cup trends.<\/p>\n
