Horse Racing Betting Tips: Baritone looks pitch perfect in Old Rowley October 11, 2018 NEWMARKET’S two-day Dubai Future Champions Festival is a precursor to next week’s QIPCO British Champions Day at Ascot.

This 1m4f handicap for three-year-olds is an interesting race, particularly with [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Vis A Vis can land Cesarewitch for that man De Sousa October 11, 2018 HAVING spent hours studying tomorrow’s Dubai £500,000 Cesarewitch Stakes (3.40pm), I have managed to narrow things down to around 20 of the 34 runners in the 2m2f contest! Earlier in the week, I was desperate to be against Willie Mullins’ well-fancied five-year-old Stratum, but the nearer we get to the race, the more I have [...]

Europe’s most valuable horse race was won in emphatic fashion by the John Gosden-trained Enable 12 months ago and she’s back to defend her crown. The [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Battaash out to blow Abbaye rivals away for a second time October 4, 2018 WHEN the Charlie Hills-trained BATTAASH is on his A-game, there isn’t a better turf sprinter in the world, and he can bounce back in Sunday’s Prix de L’Abbaye (4.35pm). For whatever reason, he hasn’t performed at his best in the last two renewals of the Nunthorpe at York, having looked unbeatable on his previous starts [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Classy Chimes to put the Wind in Fabre’s sail October 4, 2018 WITH the eyes of the racing world firmly fixed on Paris and Sunday’s Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe meeting, it’s a bit rich that the French trainers want to come over here and plunder the UK’s only Group One prize this weekend. But that’s exactly what they’ve been doing in recent years in the Sun [...]

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Make sure you go Dutch and Treat yourself in the Rockfel September 27, 2018 THIS afternoon’s card at Newmarket, the second day of the Cambridgeshire meeting, looks particularly trappy. The highlight is the Group Two Joel Stakes where Mustashry will bid to follow up his victory in the Park Stakes a fortnight ago. Sir Michael Stoute’s five-year-old has had a fine season, although it wasn’t a strong renewal at [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Nothing Little about Jo’s chances in Silver Cambridgeshire September 27, 2018 FOR THOSE who missed out on a place in tomorrow’s Cambridgeshire, they have the consolation of today’s concluding Silver Cambridgeshire (5.15pm). Last year’s renewal was bursting with quality with Lincoln winner Addeybb just getting the better of Royal Hunt Cup runner-up Afaak, as well as number of other unexposed types. Perhaps there aren’t quite as [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Apollo looks a Golden bet at rain-soaked Ayr September 20, 2018 TORRENTIAL rain in the build up to last season’s Ayr Gold Cup forced its abandonment because of waterlogging and organisers of this year’s race will be looking nervously at the forecast once again.
