Horse Racing Betting Tips: Enjoy Altior but save the cash for Mister Whitaker January 17, 2019 JUST the three runners have been declared for tomorrow’s Grade One Matchbook Clarence House Chase (3.35pm), as connections of last year’s winner Un De Sceaux have opted to stay at home rather than take on the mighty Altior. Nicky Henderson’s nine-year-old is just 1/8 to win his 12th straight race over fences and it’s hard [...]
Horseracing: David Pipe looks at his chances this weekend January 17, 2019 WE HAVE a runner in the big race of the day at Haydock tomorrow where the ground could well be pretty horrible with rain and sleet forecast. That is ideal for DAKLONDIKE, who takes his chance in the Peter Marsh Chase (3.15pm) having won the Tommy Whittle at the track last month. This race is [...]
Horse Racing Betting Tips: Wakanda can streak to victory at Haydock for in-form Smith January 17, 2019 BREAD and butter, rhubarb and custard, bacon and eggs; some things just go well together.

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 [...]
