BetBright STATZONE: Saturday ITV Racing (27th Oct 2018) - (2025)

Updated: 25/01/2025

Welcome to the BetBright STATZONE, where we give you the stats and you make the decisions!

Loads more going on this Saturday as the ITV cameras are at Doncaster, Newbury and Cheltenham.

At Doncaster the Group One , newly-named Vertem Futurity Trophy (the old Racing Post Trophy) takes centre stage as trainer Aidan O'Brien goes in search of win number eight in the race of the season, while jockey Andrea Atzeni has won the race four times in the last five years.

A decent flat card at Newbury too, while the jumping action returns to Cheltenham for the second day of their Showcase Meeting – in all we've got nine LIVE races spread across the three tracks so something for everyone!

So, as always, we’ve got it all covered here on STATZONE with all the key trends, plus our verdict, on each of the LIVE ITV races – we’re confident these trends will point you in the direction of a few winners, or at least help narrow down some of the field to highlight the horses that fit the best profile of past winners – So, let’s get cracking!
