It is a wonderful story and his horse, who nearly died from [...]
David Pipe: Hoping to strike with lively outsiders March 13, 2019 THERE is nothing quite like the Cheltenham Festival and I’m excited about heading back there today with two lively outsiders. We’ll be looking after our owners in the facility we have at the course and if you join the City Syndicate you can be part of that this time next year. Look out for the [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Monalee still my Ryanair fancy but Road warrants plenty of Respect March 13, 2019 PLENTY have swerved the Ryanair Chase (2.50pm) in recent years, but this year’s renewal is one of the races of the week. Having once been considered an afterthought for those shying away from either a Champion Chase or Gold Cup challenge, it is now being targeted in its own right. The Irish, who have won [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Not deserting Kildisart but Defi worth a saver in JLT March 13, 2019 DESPITE being upgraded to Grade One status in 2014, the JLT Novices’ Chase (1.30pm) doesn’t quite yet have the same pulling power of the Arkle or the RSA Chase. The intermediary trip is attractive to those who feel they might not quite have the gears for the former or the stamina for the latter. Last [...]
Hong Kong Horse Racing Tips: Purton and Fownes hoping to be Super Lucky up in trip March 12, 2019 HARDLY a week goes by without champion jockey Zac Purton making the headlines in Hong Kong.

Horse Racing Betting Tips: Min could make Altior’s life hard in bid for third Champion Chase March 12, 2019 FOR THOSE who remember the 2008 Cheltenham Festival, we are all hoping there isn’t going to be a sense of deja vu today. The forecast suggests Cheltenham is going to be battered by high winds and if they are as strong as some are saying, we could be in for a repeat of 11 years’ [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Delta will have to Work hard but can land Russell Another RSA Chase March 12, 2019 EVEN though the RSA Insurance Novices’ Chase (2.10pm) remains a tough test for a novice, it’s not quite the brutal one it used to be. There are only 12 declared runners for this afternoon’s renewal and the monster- sized fields seem to be a thing of the past. In fact, in four of the last [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Sam’s the man but have a saver on City in the opener March 12, 2019 THERE aren’t many races I’ve been looking forward to more at this year’s Cheltenham Festival than this afternoon’s opening Ballymore Novices’ Hurdle (1.30pm). The Irish have a particularly strong recent record in the contest having won six of the last 10 renewals and look to have a serious chance again with Gordon Elliott’s Battleoverdoyen. He [...]
Lalor and Kayley ready for their date with destiny March 12, 2019 EVERY year Cheltenham throws up incredible stories, but if Lalor was to win tomorrow’s Racing Post Arkle the heart strings won’t be pulled harder all week. His trainer Kayley Woollacott has endured the most difficult 14 months anyone could ever imagine. In January 2018, her husband Richard took his own life after a long battle [...]
