Stat of the Day, 9th January 2020
Wednesday's pick was...

Before I post the daily selection, just a quick reminder of how I operate the service. Generally, I'll identify and share the selection in the evening before the following day's race and I then add a detailed write-up later on that night/next morning.
Those happy to take the early price on trust can do so, whilst some might prefer to wait for my reasoning. As I fit the early service in around my family life, I can't give an exact timing on the posts, so I suggest you follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for instant notifications of a published pick.
Who?
Wenceslaus @ 7/2 BOG
...in a 10-runner, Class 4, Novices Handicap Chase for 5yo+ over 2m on Good to Soft ground worth £6,108 to the winner...
Why?...
Non-runner! Meeting abandoned...
...but it would have been...a 1pt win bet on Wenceslaus @ 7/2 BOG as was available from Bet365, BetVictor, Unibet & Hills (but please check your BOG status first) at 8.10am on Thursday. To see what your preferred bookie is quoting...

P.S. all P/L returns quoted in the stats above are to Betfair SP, as I NEVER bet to ISP and neither should you. I always use BOG bookies for SotD, wherever possible, but I use BFSP for the stats as it is the nearest approximation I can give, so I actually expect to beat the returns I use to support my picks. If that's unclear, please ask!
Damn… I was very proud of myself that I managed to jump on at 4/1 BOG with Unibet with their Bet Boost, only to find out the meeting has been abandoned 5 minutes later… Them’s the breaks!
Yeah, I assumed that when all the markets were very active at 8.10 that the meeting was on. I pulled up outside my daughter’s school at 8.35 to find out it was off.
I got home at 8.55 and checked my overnight shortlist and having already my picks up for my Stat Picks service, there wasn’t anything left I liked at a price I was happy to put up.
The only one that remotely interested me at a reasonable price was I’m Too Generous in the 3.45 Catterick, which available at 7/1, but is now 6’s.
I might just put a pound or two on “I’m Too Generous” for an interest anyway Chris; and to continue the play on words I will throw in “Yes No Maybe So” for the Forecast! Have a good day…
