Horse Racing Betting Tips: Just Step Back and leave Sandown handicap to the Pro December 5, 2019 GIVEN the likes of Brain Power and Lil Rockerfeller have won the Jumeirah Hotels And Resorts December Handicap Hurdle (2.25pm) in the past, it clearly takes a pretty smart sort to win it. I’m hoping that horse might be Dan Skelton’s PROTEKTORAT who made a promising return to action last time where he was just [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Clouds can Kick rivals into Touch at Aintree December 5, 2019 BILLIONAIRE businessman and major owner Trevor Hemmings loves to have winners at Aintree, but there is one race that matters more to him than any other.

David Pipe on his runners across the country over the next few days December 5, 2019 WE’RE HOPING VIEUX LION ROUGE can run another big race at Aintree tomorrow in the Becher Chase (1.30pm).

Tom [Scudamore] schooled him [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: West and Conditional the right Approach in big one November 28, 2019 SOME of racing’s brightest stars have lifted the Ladbrokes Trophy (3.00pm). Arkle, One Man and Denman have all had their names etched on to the roll of honour of Newbury’s greatest race.

David Pipe on his Newbury runners over the next couple of days November 28, 2019 WE RUN DAKLONDIKE in the Ladbrokes Trophy Chase (3.00pm) at Newbury tomorrow and despite the fact it probably won’t be soft enough for him, I think he may be overpriced. He is talented, but very quirky, and prepped for this with a really nice run over hurdles earlier in the month. Scu (Tom Scudamore) schooled [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Roland to be crowned the King for Harry Fry November 28, 2019 NEWBURY’S Ladbrokes Winter Festival continues to go from strength to strength as a two rather than three day meeting.

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. COLLINGWOOD COURT made a pleasing enough start for us at Ascot a fortnight ago in what was a pretty hot [...]

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).
