Horse racing betting tips: Fabricate and Nemoralia can land the cash at Donny September 8, 2016 LAST month’s Ebor at York is the richest handicap in Europe and although Friday afternoon’s Ladbrokes Mallard Handicap (3.05pm) is only worth a fraction, it’s always a hugely competitive race. Hugo Palmer’s Wall of Fire is likely to go off favourite after his impressive win in the Melrose at York. Josephine Gordon takes off 3lbs [...]
Horse racing bettting tips: Time for Mizzou to finally land a big one September 8, 2016 SPRINTERS have been hogging the limelight during this year’s Flat season. Mecca’s Angel, Profitable and Quiet Reflection have all proven themselves to be world class competitors in their discipline. There’s been a bit more uncertainty with the stayers, though, and that leads us on to Friday’s Doncaster Cup (3.40pm). Order Of St George can prove [...]
Horse racing betting tips: Mark Johnston’s Rusumaat can earn a big pay day at Donny September 7, 2016 With a pot of £300,000 up for grabs, it’s no surprise to see plenty of decent two-year-olds take their chance in Thursday's big Sales race (3.40pm). Before Wednesday's final declaration stage, I had expected the Aidan O’Brien-trained Intelligence Cross to stand his ground and take plenty of beating even with a penalty. However, the son of War [...]
Horse racing betting tips: Fendale can fend off his rivals to land Michael Dods the Ladbrokes Handicap September 7, 2016 A whopping 22 runners go to post for the Ladbrokes Handicap (Thursday 6.00pm) – and I’ll be backing FENDALE to build on last month’s encouraging fifth at Ripon. A promising youngster, Fendale won his first two career outings before going off 10/1 for the 2014 Group Two Gimcrack Stakes. He finished well down the field that [...]
Horse racing betting tips: Mutawatheb can stamp his class on Doncaster rivals September 6, 2016 Richard Hannon’s MUTAWATHEB beat subsequent Group Two winner Tis Marvellous in June and he can prove his class once again by winning Wednesday's seven-furlong Nursery (2.30pm). That Newbury form is the best on offer here, and he’s since run well when finishing fourth in a Listed contest at Ascot. There was less than a length [...]
Horse racing betting tips: Secret looks a Pearl of a bet at Doncaster September 6, 2016 Doncaster's four-day Ladbrokes St Leger Festival kicks off on Wednesday with the hugely popular Leger Legends race (3.35pm) taking centre stage. It’s not really a betting event for me, but plenty of punters piled into AP McCoy’s mount Gannicus 12 months ago, who came home in front at just 7/2. Joseph O’Brien and Richard Hughes [...]
Betting: Stargazer can shine bright for Stoute and Moore at Ascot September 1, 2016 There is a very competitive meeting at Ascot on Saturday afternoon with more than 80 horses taking part in the seven-race card. It’s not going to be easy for punters, but I think they can strike it lucky by following the powerful Sir Michael Stoute-Ryan Moore combination in the 1m 4f Appletiser Stakes (3.10pm). STARGAZER [...]
Betting: Suedois to bring home the candy in Sprint Cup September 1, 2016 Question marks over the weather mean choosing the winner of Saturday’s Haydock Sprint Cup (4.30pm) is an even trickier task than usual. If the rain stays away, then Limato will be a hot favourite for trainer Henry Candy, who is bidding to win the race for the second successive year. Limato’s victory in the July [...]
Horse racing betting: Third time lucky for Line Of Reason in Beverley Bullet August 25, 2016 Chester and Epsom’s five furlong courses are two of the biggest draw biases in the country, but Beverley isn’t far behind. Being drawn low in sprints at the Yorkshire track is a huge advantage – seven of the last eight winners of Saturday's Beverley Bullet (3.10pm) have been drawn four or lower. There are some real [...]
Horse racing betting: Thikriyaat can boost his QEII credentials with Celebration win August 25, 2016 Trainer Sir Michael Stoute has won the Goodwood Celebration Mile (4.30pm) a record eight times – and he’ll be confident of adding to his collection once again on Saturday. Despite his overall success in the race, Newmarket-based Stoute has not won the contest since Zacinto surged to glory in 2009, but the wait for another victory [...]
