Hi Glenno,

You've picked a fine sire in Commands for certain. Wins on all types of going, in fact his heavy track stats are 1% better than his good track stats.

Plenty of action also with 2225 individual runs in 2010/11. Obvious early filters would be to leave out maidens and 2yo races.

Looking at the figures below for top trainer stats makes for interesting reading:

PETER SNOWDEN 125 18%
JOHN HAWKES 78 18%
JOSEPH PRIDE 24 29%
NICK OLIVE 19 28%
LUKE GRIFFITH 18 24%
DARREN SMITH 16 31%
D L FREEDMAN 16 25%
BARBARA JOSEPH 16 20%
JOHN O'SHEA 15 20%
PETER MOODY 14 33%
SHANE CLARKE 13 32%
JOHN SIZE 12 22%
J MANZELMANN 12 30%
GRANT DELANEY 12 39%

You can boost the winning percentage instantly just by focusing on top trainers. There is still plenty of action, especially from the Snowden camp.

Best of luck Glenno, if you keep following this ultra reliable sire, I don't think you'll be too far off the mark.

Cheers,

The Schmile
