THE BACKGROUND TO OUR UNIQUE SERVICE
Back in April 2004, we set out to find the winner of the Aintree Grand National. Stepping into virgin territory, we decided to analyse the profiles of previous winners of the race to see if we could uncover a common theme which we could apply to the runners in that year's race. Lo and behold, after some weeks' research and many, many hours of hard work, we developed a formula and arrived at the view that of the final 40 runners (well, 39 since one was withdrawn just before the race), there could only be one winner. We backed Amberleigh House to win, taking an antepost price of 25/1 and yes, you guessed it, the rest is history! When we told family and friends that only one horse could win the National, they looked at us as if we were start raving mad.......after our momentous win however, they followed our advice like hawks! In fact, we since went on to supply our family and friends with a further 4 of the 5 Grand National winners between 2005 and 2009 - see our Grand National page for details.
So, our addiction was born and since 2004, we have researched high grade races throughout the year and gone on to successfully apply our own set of rules to find winners. It has worked very well....to the extent that we are now commercialising our work. Trend Friend is launched to the public with effect from March 2010.
NOT ANOTHER TIPPING SERVICE
First and foremost, Trend Friend is not another tipping service.
What we offer is a unique approach which provides our members with regular winners and solid profits. We achieve this by the application of a highly successful methodology which sets us apart from the competition.
Ours is a service which will appeal to those of you who are fed up with following tipping services down a blind alley or relying on racing pundits, gossip and so called "stable information" which consistently leaves you in the poorhouse. It will also appeal to serious individuals who have neither the time nor the inclination to undertake the study required for successful winner picking.
OUR METHOD
We undertake quite unique and in-depth profiling of the previous winners of particular races and, from this, we establish and apply "key trends" rules to the runners of those races when they are next run.
BIG PRICED WINNERS
Our method often finds winners at prices well into double digits such as, for example, Mon Mome, the 100/1 SP winner of the 2009 Grand National. Selections are not always "form horses" and this is the way in which we often successfully "go against the crowd".
MAJOR RACES
We concentrate on major races which run throughout the racing calendar.
WE DO THE HARD WORK, YOU REAP THE BENEFITS
There is certainly no "quick fix" when it comes to finding winners and in the case of our methodology, we spend many hours and days analysing each and every race in which we provide members with our recommendations.
For our members, however, life is made simple. On race day, after the completion of our analysis, we send a clear and straightforward email which contains our recommendations/selections.
FORECASTS AND TRICASTS
We will often provide our members with a shortlist of runners to back in forecasts and tricasts. This can be extremely profitable - just take a look at our "Biggest Win" page to see how this approach produced a 54,466/1 tricast in the 2009 Irish Grand National.
DON'T BE MISLED BY THE COMPETITION
There are of course certain racing newspapers and internet sites which provide key trends analysis of major races but when you scratch below the surface, what you find is:
EXTENSIVE ANALYSIS
At Trend Friend, there are no shortcuts.
With each and every race we analyse, we consider up to 30 or more potential "qualifying criteria". In fact, in the case of a 40 runner Aintree Grand National alone where our set of rules contain 52 different criteria, we face the mammoth task of finding and inputting onto a very large spreadsheet no less than 2,080 (52x40) different pieces of data to find the winner.
Our analysis normally begins a week or so before each race we analyse and continues over many days and hours leading up to and including race day itself.
We only advise selections which "tick all the boxes". No ifs, buts or maybes so you can be confident that if we advise a selection, it stands a strong chance of winning.
A MAINLY WEEKEND SERVICE
Given that we concentrate on analysing major races, most of our selections run in races on the weekends. We will normally give selections in between 2 and 4 races on a weekend. Of course, the main exception to this is in respect of certain major Festivals where races are run on weekdays.
OUR SELECTIONS
As a member, you will receive our selections by email by late morning on the day our races run. This will allow plenty of time for you to place your bets.
NEW STRATEGY - STARTING APRIL 2011
After providing our service for more than a year (we launched on 6 March 2010), we have undertaken an in-depth analysis of our past performance. This analysis has led to us being able to implement the following, highly profitable change to the service (the analysis is shown in the table below).
All of us at Trend Friend are gambling folk which puts us in a great position......we KNOW what we need to give to our subscribers - the same as we would look for if we were to join a service ourselves.
There is also one simple yet fundamental reason why we NEED to make the service work - we bet on our own selections.
So.....if you need a reason to join our unique service, here are 10 for you to choose from:
1. Uniqueness - the service we operate is genuinely unique:
a) Providing members with selections based on the extensive analysis of historical race trends.
b) Also providing members with forecast, tricast and win multiple selections.
2. Profitability - the service is consistently profitable with a high Return on Investment - normally around 14% and with our new strategy, kicking off in April 2011, potentially around 43% Return on Investment. Our methods have been proven to be successful, both since our public launch in March 2010 and over the six year prior period when we employed our methods privately.
3. High strike rate - a long term race strike rate of 40-50% means that we make a profit in 4 to 5 of every 10 races.
4. Independent Reviews - we have exposed ourselves to being independently reviewed by the likes of Secret Betting Club - independent verification of our success.
5. Major races - we only analyse and give selections in major races - no selections in the daily low class cannon fodder races where upsets are the norm.
6. Big priced winners - our methods are famous for highlighting high priced qualifiers which are often overlooked from a form perspective. We've had successes at prices up to 75/1 Betfair SP as well as many other double digit priced winners.
7. Proofing - our selections are entirely transparent - they are all proofed to Racing Index.
8. Customer Service - we pride ourselves on providing a fast, efficient and knowledgeable customer service experience - you can test this as a member or non member.
9. Low subscription prices and a Performance Guarantee - our subscription prices are highly competitive and offer excellent value. This is reinforced by our free period Performance Guarantee which you can read about on our Subscriptions page.
10. Our members like us and our service! Come and join us and find out for yourself!
We doubt you would need any more reasons to join our service.

50% STRIKE RATE
Our long term strike rate in the races we analyse is around 50%. That means that we generally find the winner in 1 in every 2 races we analyse, a pretty strong testament to the strength and depth of our methodology. We also often provide our members with recommendations for specific win doubles, forecast and tricast bets and these have the potential for very sizeable returns. Of course, the Racing Index site does not provide for the proofing of these kinds of bets.
PROOFING
As of our public launch (6th March 2010), all of our selections are proofed to Racing Index. For the details, click HERE

TREND FRIEND FULL RESULTS FROM LAUNCH (6.3.10) (LEVEL STAKES).xls
As we've stated on our first page ("Our Method"), we will often provide our members with a shortlist of runners to back in forecast and tricast bets. These bets can be extremely profitable and whilst we urge caution to our members, recommending they maintain a separate betting bank for this purpose and making it clear that winning forecasts and tricasts don't come up as often as successful single win bets, we know that when they do, they are often landed at very big odds and, overall, they can be very profitable indeed. Take our biggest ever win which came by way of a winning tricast in the 2009 Irish Grand National at the staggering odds of 54,466/1. Click HERE. The only shame is not being allowed to proof these bets to Racing Index. If we could, we're sure we would ALWAYS sit at the top of the table!

WE'VE FOUND THE WINNERS OF 5 OF THE LAST 8 GRAND NATIONALS
AND HAVE ALSO WON A TRICAST IN THE IRISH NATIONAL AT ODDS OF 54,466/1.
READ ON FOR DETAILS.
For most people, the Grand National is considered to be a lottery. For us, however, it is simply our favourite race of the racing calendar and one in which we have had some memorable successes.
The Grand National is a race which we have analysed since 2004. In the 8 runnings of the race since that time, we have found the winners of 5! The full details are shown below.
2011: A losing year with non qualifier Ballabriggs bagging the prize.
2010: A losing year with Don't Push It, a non qualifier, winning the race.
2009: The winner, Mon Mome, at a staggering 100/1 SP (and a Betfair SP of 143)!
(We backed 3 in the race which included Chelsea Harbour 40/1 and Parsons Legacy 20/1)
2008: The winner, Comply Or Die at 7/1 SP which we backed on the day of the race at 11/1.
2007: The winner, Silver Birch at 33/1 SP which we backed on Betfair at a price of 65 (64/1).
2006: The winner, Numbersixvalverde, our only "qualifier" at 11/1 SP along with the 98/1 Tote Exacta (forecast)
and 400/1 Tote Trifecta (1st, 2nd & 3rd)
2005: A losing year when Hedgehunter, a non qualifier, won the race.
2004: The winner, Amberleigh House (backed before raceday at 25/1 SP) - again our only "qualifier" in the 39
runner race.
We have enjoyed similar successes in the two other end of season Nationals, the Scottish and the Irish.
In the 2009 Irish Grand National, not only did we back the winner, Niche Market at 33/1 SP and 79.17 Betfair SP but we also won the tricast at odds of 54,466/1, backing the first three past the post at prices of 33/1, 50/1 and 50/1. As it happened, our bookmaker, Stan James, limited our forecast unit stakes to 50 pence and our unit tricast stakes to 36 pence but we still walked off with a very cool £20,118.40 for our trouble! Had we been allowed to back the forecast and tricast to £1 unit stakes, we would have won £1207.07 on the forecast and a stunning £54,466.58 on the tricast!
For proof of our Tricast win, take a look at the extract of our Stan James betting account statement by clicking here to go to our our "Biggest Win" page.
Here's the proof of our mouthwatering Tricast win in the 2009 Irish Grand National - a £19,514.86 return for a 36 pence stake at odds of 54,466/1. Our selection of the first three past the post came about entirely as the result of our unique, trends based analysis of the race.

IN HONOUR OF OUR BRAVE SON, RIFLEMAN JAMES BROWN, 3RD BATTALION THE RIFLES
On 15th December 2009, our son, 18 year old Rifleman James Brown was tragically killed by a suicide bomber whilst on active duty in Sangin, Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
Since that time and in James's honour and memory, his mother has so far raised over £10,000 for the incredibly worthy charity, Help for Heroes, who are dedicated to improving the quality of life of our wounded troops returning from the battlefield.
Please do your bit by making a donation, however large or small, in James's honour and memory, by clicking on the Help for Heroes banner here on the left. Thank you.
SUPPORT OUR HOMELESS EX SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN
Did you know that there are more than 6000 ex servicemen and women living rough today on London's streets? Yes, it is quite unthinkable. Now, our Government might want to ignore this issue but you can help by making a donation today to Veterans Aid, a wonderful charity, dedicated to providing food and shelter to these brave souls. Just click on the banner here on the left and thank you.
