How it is counted

Every settled UK and Irish race since June 2025. The favourite is the starting price favourite, and joint favourites are counted, so a race with two can add two runs and one winner. Flat, jumps and all-weather are together; a course with an all-weather track is counted once. Courses with fewer than 50 favourites are left out of the ranking (3 of them) but are in the totals. Updated every day from the results.

Use these numbers anywhere, with a link to this page. Each course has its own page with the trainers, jockeys and going behind its figure: start at every racecourse.
