Tune In For A Spot Of ‘Bay’ Watch At Wincanton
Four National Hunt cards to enjoy this afternoon, and with funds to play up after some positive results so far this week we’ll try and continue the decent spell, with Colin Tizzard’s Queen’s Bay the selection in the opening Carling Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle at Wincanton (2.00pm). Clear on ratings (123) and with her outstanding young [...]
Out To Sustain A Winning Week At Carlisle
With winners on the board on Monday and Tuesday hopes are high Venetia Williams’ improving seven year old Sustainability can get us back on track for the week by scoring in Carlisle’s Madness In Concert 7th July Novices’ Handicap Hurdle at 3.45pm. Raised 7lbs for winning at Hereford and another 6lbs for scoring at Uttoxeter [...]
On A Roll With Rigadin At Fontwell
The price is nothing to get too giddy about, but Venetia Williams provided us with a nice winner in the shape of Carrickboy at Hereford on Monday, and her seven year old son of Visionary Rigadin De Beauchene is expected to get the job done in Fontwell’s 0-115 Betfair Don’t Settle For Less Handicap Chase [...]
A Winning Move For Dancing Art At Newcastle?
North East trainer Keith Reveley has his team in pleasing form of late, with the wins of Flora’s Pride and Corkage in recent days evidence to that. This afternoon he sends unexposed six year old Dancing Art up the A1 to contest the 0-130 Marriott Hotel Handicap Chase at Newcastle’s Gosforth Park (4.50pm), and it [...]
Carrickboy Backed To Do The Business At Hereford
With Cheltenham just eight days away Herefordshire trainer Venetia Williams has her string in fine form at just the right time of the season, and her run of impressive results (eight winners in the past fortnight) can improve further still with Carrickboy likely to put up a bold show in Hereford’s Play Casino At betvictor.com [...]
Set Fair For A Fine Pre-Cheltenham Weekend
The calm before the storm. Well, at least it’s meant to be….just 11 days to go until the Cheltenham Festival, and although deep in the Preview season there’s still a stack of decent racing to get through between now and then, with Saturday’s card at Newbury just the ticket for anyone not yet ready to [...]
On The Receiving End At Folkestone
The grandly named Kent National is the feature event on a seven race card at Folkestone this afternoon, and despite a temporary dip in the recent form of his string trainer Charlie Longsdon can bounce back to form with his thorough stayer Wide Receiver rightly favourite to see off his six rivals in the 3m [...]
Inside Information The Route To A Guaranteed Profit
Is it wrong for a licensed racehorse trainer to profit from ‘inside information’? In racing it’s a phrase you hear bandied around time and time again, and rightly so. Go for a cup of tea in the stable lads’ canteen and you’ll see posters placed by the BHA with definitions of what constitutes profiting from [...]
Destination Ascot In The Search For A Saturday Winner
It’s been an absolute belter of a week, and not even the arrival of a postcard from the infamous Lord Culcheth, who’s somehow conned his current squeeze into going on a cougar safari with him in Kenya, could dampen the spirits after some excellent results and a Friday to remember in Newbury. A fast moving [...]
The Winner Of Friday’s Betfair Hurdle? That’s Final!
Outside of the major festivals rarely can any track have hosted such a glittering array of talent as is declared to be on display at Newbury on Friday, but with the frosty weather well and truly in retreat we get another bash at trying to solve what’s promising to be a fantastic day’s sport. Hats [...]
All Points ‘South’ For A Wednesday Wager
The Cheltenham Festival it isn’t, but we’re still grateful for a dose of frost-free racing at Southwell on Wednesday afternoon, and Welsh trainer David Evans could well have the solution to the Novices’ Handicap Chase (2.20pm) up his sleeve with nine-year-old gelding Esteem likely to run a big race at the Nottinghamshire track. He won [...]
China To Take Away Hennessy Glory On A Leopardstown Super Sunday
If there’s any truth to the line ‘food is the way to a man’s heart’ then imagine my anguish in the early hours of last Sunday morning, when after negotiating the snowy streets of London still full of running and making it back to my stable for the night, I discovered some villain had callously [...]
Evra Ready For 7/2 Old Trafford Snub
With no proper jumps racing to get stuck into I find myself reduced to trawling twitter for a bit of lunchtime entertainment, and quickly stumbled across a quote from @VictorChandler regarding Saturday’s Manchester United v Liverpool lunchtime kick-off, with the Gibraltar based firm offering what looks to be a very appealing 7/2 about United full [...]
Look North For A Monday Winner
We’ll head north of the border and up to Ayr for the best bet of the day on Monday, with Irish trainer Jim Dreaper’s Radharc Na Mara boasting strong claims in a weak 3m 1f handicap chase at 2.20pm. She would have won at Fairyhouse at the start of the month has she stayed upright, [...]
Blackstairmountain A Step Ahead In Sunday’s Leopardstown Arkle
There’s no doubting the headline act at Leopardstown on BHP Insurance Champion Hurdle day, as the covers come off reigning Champion Hurdle winner Hurricane Fly at 2.30pm, live on RTE2. Granted he hasn’t been seen since his majestic win at Punchestown in the Rabobank Champion back in May (268 days ago), but this is a [...]
Boylesports.com Hurdle Day At Leopardstown – We’ve Got It ‘Covered’ With Saturday’s Tips
Four consecutive pivotal weekends lie in wait as the Cheltenham Festival draws ever closer, and here in Leopardstown tonight there’ll be more than a couple of owners dreaming of heading to Gloucestershire in mid-March with a tilt at weekend Festival sponsor Boylesports’ 100,000 euro bonus still intact – that’s a cash incentive put up by [...]
Painter Man In The Frame At Leicester
To brighten up a dull Tuesday a big run is expected from David Pipe’s Painter Man in Leicester’s 0-110 Humberstone Handicap Hurdle at 4.10pm this afternoon. Injury prone in the past, this is a horse who’s only had 16 career starts despite being a 10-year-old, and he can defy top weight off a mark of [...]
Fine Filly Salley Primed For Ascot Honours Among Saturday’s Best Bets
I don’t suppose Prunella Dobbs and her team have sent Our Girl Salley across from Ireland from their Dunganstown, County Wicklow base for a breath of the Berkshire air, and she can defy a penalty to take the spoils in this afternoon’s Grade 2 1942 Was A Vintage Year Mares’ Hurdle at Ascot, 2.05pm live [...]
Swincombe Flame To Set The Lanzarote Alight Amongst Saturday’s Top Tips
Greetings from Kempton Park, or at least a popular brand of budget hotel a few hundred yards from the track, one which could easily be mistaken for a prison or perhaps the well signed nearby Feltham Young Offenders Institute. On the upside it does sit within crawling distance of one of the finest Indian restaurants [...]
Tolworth Primed For A ‘Squadron’ Leader – Saturday’s Tips
A belated Happy New Year to kick off the first column of 2012, and what a celebration it was to see off 2011. Four days in front of the RTE cameras at Leopardstown, during which Le Beau Bai put a smile as wide as the Severn Bridge on my face by winning the Welsh National, [...]
