David Pipe takes a look at Saturday’s racing from Sandown January 31, 2020 LAST weekend was a really tough one for the yard as the huge high of winning with RAMSES DE TEILLEE up at Doncaster was overshadowed by losing WARTHOG at Cheltenham. People often talk about the highs and lows of this great sport and that was our afternoon last Saturday. NIGHT EDITION ran a blinder to [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Mare Honeysuckle to land sweet success over the boys January 31, 2020 TICKING off the days until Cheltenham gets a bit tedious. However, Leopardstown’s Dublin Racing Festival, with no less than eight Group Ones, does more than fill the gap. Tomorrow’s Irish Champion Hurdle (3.10pm) is maybe the most intriguing of those, with mare HONEYSUCKLE set to have her credentials put to the test by the boys. [...]
David Pipe looks ahead to his weekend runners January 23, 2020 TRIALS Day at Cheltenham is always a great afternoon and we send two there tomorrow. I was delighted with NIGHT EDITION who finished fourth on his debut for us at Taunton last month. He will take his chance in the opening JCB Triumph Hurdle Trial (12.40pm), but is definitely being pitched in at the deep [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Highway the One to motor home on Festival Trials Day January 23, 2020 THERE are some cracking graded races on Festival Trials Day at Cheltenham tomorrow with the likes of Paisley Park and Santini running, but from a punting perspective I’m more interested in the Paddy Power 45 Sleeps To Cheltenham Trophy Handicap Chase (1.50pm). Although Lalor, Warthog and Spiritofthegames have all run well over course and distance [...]
David Pipe on his runners across the country on Saturday January 16, 2020 CONDITIONS ought to be ideal for CHAMPERS ON ICE in the Peter Marsh Chase at Haydock (2.40pm) tomorrow where he switches back from hurdles to fences. He’s been in great form over the smaller obstacles this season so far and we just thought it was worth sending him chasing again – that’s what we bought [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: D’Orhy looks the Pic for Nicholls at Ascot January 16, 2020 ALL EYES will be on Ascot tomorrow as Defi Du Seuil and Un De Sceaux lock horns again in the Clarence House Chase (3.35pm) after last month’s thrilling Tingle Creek at Sandown. Only a neck separated the pair that day and there shouldn’t be much between them again. Every drop of rain that falls between [...]
David Pipe on his runners across the country over the next few days January 9, 2020 MANY of you may have noticed that we haven’t had that many runners of late and have very few entered up over the coming days. The reason for that is this is the time of year we vaccinate our horses and we just give them an easy time in the immediate aftermath. It’s still been [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Do Notre fear about Pari in the Lanzarote January 9, 2020 OLLY Murphy has only been training since 2017, but he has made an excellent start to his career which followed a four year spell with Gordon Elliott in Ireland. The son of decorated bloodstock owner Aiden, he comes from the right background to succeed in this tough game although that is no guarantee of success. [...]
David Pipe on his runners across the country over the next few days December 19, 2019 ONLY the one runner for me today at rain-soaked Ascot where it will be hard work. I was thrilled with ISRAEL CHAMP at Cheltenham last month and he is back in action in this afternoon’s Listed bumper (3.40pm). It’s a hot-looking race and life will be tougher with a 4lb penalty to carry, but we [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Belami looks ready to take Ascot Silver December 19, 2019 AFTER all the recent rain, conditions look set to be brutal at Ascot this weekend so tread with care. If there’s one horse who won’t mind it heavy it’s Venetia Williams’ BELAMI DES PICTONS who can be backed at 7/2 with Ladbrokes to win tomorrow’s Silver Cup (3.00pm). He won on terrible ground over this [...]
