Hong Kong Horse Racing Tips: Seven Heavens can put punters on cloud nine January 15, 2019 HONG Kong’s Happy Valley hosts eight races today, all of which look fiendishly difficult puzzles to solve. A word of advice, don’t rush in on the short-priced favourites as this racecard will have form students scratching their heads. From a handicapping point of view, you could throw a blanket over at least half-a-dozen horses in [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Crosspark and Dawn set for epic Duel in Classic Chase January 10, 2019 GOOD ground at Warwick in January is pretty much unheard of, yet that is what we’re faced with tomorrow for the course’s highlight of the season, the Classic Chase (3.00pm). In 2017, One For Arthur took this 3m5f prize at a widely disregarded 14/1 – just a few months later he won the Grand National [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Kloud a shade too good for Lanzarote rivals January 10, 2019 NOT SINCE 2007 has a horse with double-figure odds won the Lanzarote Hurdle (2.40pm), tomorrow’s feature race at Kempton Park. It’s a race that gives the bookies nightmares and I suspect a few are already tossing and turning in their sleep at the thought of KLOUD GATE extending his unbeaten run to three. Having landed [...]
Horseracing: David Pipe’s City AM Column January 10, 2019 WITH no sign of rain, it looks like being a quiet weekend for us with only UN TEMPS POUR TOUT flying the flag for the stable in the Classic Chase at Warwick (3.00pm) tomorrow. The plan is to run him as long as the ground is safe, so we certainly don’t want it to dry [...]
Hong Kong Horse Racing Tips: Son of Frankel to show he’s Simply Brilliant in Group class January 8, 2019 A STAR-studded cast lines up for the Group Three January Cup (Handicap) over 1m1f at 1.45pm – Happy Valley’s only Group race. Hong Kong champion and two-time Group One-winner Time Warp heads the weights and returns to action following a creditable third behind Glorious Forever in the HK Cup on International Day at Sha Tin [...]
Hong Kong Horse Racing Tips: Cannon can fire at Valley’s first meet of the year January 8, 2019 HAPPY Valley hosts its first meeting of 2019 today and favourite-backers will be hoping it proves as profitable as the Sha Tin action on New Year’s Day. Eight of the market leaders came home in front during the 11-race card. However, that hasn’t been a regular occurrence in Hong Kong this season. Especially at Happy [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Enola Gay can pay for the day at Sandown January 3, 2019 CHRISTMAS was a bit of a slog for punters. Unexpected results in the King George and the Christmas Hurdle at Kempton on Boxing Day, as well as a fistful of unfancied winners throughout the festive period, meant the bookies rolled into 2019 on top. Tomorrow’s card at Sandown, where the Grade One Tolworth Hurdle is [...]
Horseracing: David Pipe’s City AM Column January 3, 2019 WITH only one runner over the next couple of days, it will be a relatively quiet weekend for us. RATHLIN ROSE takes his chance in the Veterans’ Handicap Chase (3.00pm) at Sandown tomorrow and this has been the plan for some time. He had a nice pipe-opener here back in November and seems in good [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Rose to prove a thorn in his rivals’ side January 3, 2019 A UNIVERSAL success is the only way that the Veterans’ Chase Series can be described since it was launched in 2015. It has revitalised the programme for older horses and tomorrow sees the fourth running of the Final (3.00pm) at Sandown, with a staggering £100,000 in prize money up for grabs. The roof of Sandown’s [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Agrapart can slog his way to JLT Hurdle success at Ascot December 20, 2018 IF YOU have finished your Christmas shopping and don’t have plans tomorrow, then head to Ascot for a terrific card featuring the Grade One JLT Hurdle (2.25pm). A race that has served up plenty of small-field uncompetitive affairs in the past has been blessed with 11 runners and has the potential to be a cracker. [...]
