Betting: Punters’ prayers can be answered by Western Hymn in St Simon Stakes October 20, 2016 EVEN though the Flat season doesn’t traditionally end for another two weeks, tomorrow’s action at Doncaster and Newbury represents the final whistle for many with the running of the last British Group One of the year.

Ascot betting tips: The Tin Man has the heart of a champion October 13, 2016 THERE is no doubt the introduction of the Group One Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot last year has revitalised the sprinting scene in the UK. Quiet Reflection has followed in the hoofprints of last year’s champion Muhaarar and she must have a decent chance in Saturday’s British Champions Sprint (2.00pm). Karl Burke’s three-year-old filly has [...]

Betting tips: Value can be Found with the fillies in Arc de Triomphe September 29, 2016 THERE is quality racing action on both sides of the Channel this weekend with Sunday’s Qatar Prix de L’Arc de Triomphe (3.05pm) the undoubted highlight. Roger Varian’s Postponed is a worthy favourite on the back of an impressive win in the Juddmonte International at York last month. That success came on ground arguably too fast [...]
Ashadihan can stamp her authority on Rosemary rivals September 22, 2016 Friday's Listed Rosemary Stakes (1.55pm) isn't straight forward by any means, but ASHADIHAN is the classiest filly in the race and must have a massive chance.

Newmarket betting tips: Sparks will fly for Brian Meehan in Cambridgeshire September 22, 2016 JOHN Gosden has won the historic Cambridgeshire Handicap (4.10pm) three times, but punters were dealt a bitter blow when his hot favourite Sacred Act was ruled out on Wednesday evening.
