TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most intriguing thread running through his recent record is his partnership with Just For Yuse. The two have been together for 11 races without a win, which is a long road for any trainer and horse to travel. Whether that changes soon will be one of the more interesting stories to follow from the Stafford yard.
On normal ground, Stafford's runners perform at their best — 1 win from 6 races, which works out at around 1 in every 6, notably better than his overall figures. It is a small sample, but it suggests his horses are suited to standard conditions and worth keeping an eye on when the ground is neither waterlogged nor baked hard.
