Goodwood betting: Take emotion out of it and back Stoute’s Thikriyaat

July 28, 2016

Godolphin have had a resurgent year so far with a regular stream of Group race winners for their now wider range of trainers. However, at the start of the year, their big hope would have been Charlie Appleby’s Emotionless. The Shamardal colt was a hugely impressive winner of the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster last September [...]
Goodwood betting: Angel can fly in the King George Stakes

July 28, 2016

Watching back a replay of last year’s Qatar King George Stakes, it’s impossible not to be impressed by William Haggas’s Muthmir. The son of Invincible Spirit carried a penalty to victory that day and won with a little bit more in hand than the eventual winning margin of just a head implies. He lines up unpenalised [...]
Horse racing betting: Cross looks the intelligent play in Richmond Stakes

July 27, 2016

Coolmore have invested heavily in the stock of US sire War Front in recent years and it has certainly paid dividends, especially with their juveniles. On Tuesday, War Decree landed the Vintage Stakes, which followed up Roly Poly’s Cherry Hinton win at Newmarket earlier this month. The big race for two-year-olds on Thursday is the Group [...]
Horse racing betting: Charlton is on a Quest For More Goodwood winners

July 27, 2016

Racegoers will descend on the Sussex Downs in their droves for Ladies’ Day on Thursday – and they could all be on to a winner if they keep QUEST FOR MORE onside in the Goodwood Cup (3.10pm). Roger Charlton’s charge was a good second in this race 12 months ago and put in a great effort [...]
Goodwood betting: Cash in on The Cashel Man in Goodwood’s marathon

July 26, 2016

An abundance of stamina is required to successfully conquer Wednesday's 2m5f Goodwood Stakes (2.00pm) and, although he’s yet to be asked the question, I think THE CASHEL MAN will relish the trip. After blowing away the cobwebs at Ascot on his seasonal reappearance, David Simcock’s four-year-old ran well over two miles at York to finish [...]
Goodwood betting: Dettori gunning for more glory at Goodwood

July 26, 2016

Frankie Dettori is approaching his 3,000th British winner and can get one nearer his target on GALILEO GOLD in the Sussex Stakes (Wednesday 3.10pm). The charismatic Italian has won this race on four occasions, but not since Ramonti in 2007 and this looks a good opportunity for him to end that run. Hugo Palmer enjoyed a [...]
Goodwood betting: Isomer looks a vintage bet for in-form Balding team

July 25, 2016

Aidan O’Brien’s War Decree is weighted to reverse the form with Newmarket conqueror Boynton in Tuesday's Group Two Qatar Vintage Stakes (2.35pm) – and the likelihood is he will. The Irish trainer is bidding to win the race for the second time in three runnings, however I won’t be racing to take the skinny prices available [...]
Goodwood betting: Markaz set to upset big two in Lennox Stakes

July 25, 2016

Experiencing the Qatar Goodwood Festival for the first time is infectious, and even more so if you come away with a good winner. On Tuesday, first-season trainer Owen Burrows makes his debut at the five-day festival and I fancy his MARKAZ to get things off to a flyer in the Lennox Stakes (3.10pm). The four-year-old [...]
Short gap between Majors could play into hands of in-form Henrik Stenson at US PGA Championship

July 25, 2016

This week’s US PGA Championships is going to have go some to match the Open, which was by any measurement the best golf we have ever seen at a Major tournament. The two tournaments wouldn’t normally be so close in the calendar, but golf’s return to the Olympic Games means that the gap between the [...]
Backlash for Olympic chiefs after Russia dodges blanket ban for Rio Olympics

July 24, 2016

The International Olympic Committee [IOC] has been accused of a dereliction of duty after deciding not to impose a blanket ban on all Russian competitors at the Rio Games next month. The IOC on Sunday instead ruled that the governing bodies of each sport represented at the Olympics must judge whether to accept or exclude athletes [...]
