Emma Lavelle’s superstar [...]
David Pipe: This has always been the plan for Umbrigado November 22, 2019 IT WAS great to saddle two winners at last weekend’s November meeting at Cheltenham. DUC DE BEAUCHENE got the job done nicely in the opener on Sunday and it was particularly special to send out a winner for JP McManus who has been such a fantastic supporter of our yard over the years. As for [...]
David Pipe: Ramses will relish every drop of rain that falls November 14, 2019 AFTER a summer break it’s great to be back with my regular weekly column, and I can start with the news that we are already up and running with our new City AM syndicate horse.

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Warrior can battle his way to shock victory October 24, 2019 WITH the word ‘heavy’ already featuring in the going description at Newbury and plenty of rain on the way, conditions are set to be tough for tomorrow’s Group Three Cancom Stakes (2.50pm).

The master of Ballydoyle has whittled that challenge down to just five now with only Andrew Balding’s Kameko standing his ground against [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: The Revenant to produce an Oscar-winning performance October 17, 2019 WHEN the first ever QIPCO British Champions Day was staged at Ascot back in 2011, the sceptics raised concerns at the time about the risk of heavy ground spoiling the end of season finale.

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Coronet to crown Gosden in perfect style with victory in the Champion October 17, 2019 THEY say it’s not over until the fat lady sings, but surely it is impossible for Aidan O’Brien to win his eighth British trainers’ championship.
