Horse Racing & Tips Thread

Nicky Henderson is in amazing form at the moment, his last 16 runners in the last 7 days, have produced form figures of 22141211261PU1111. He has 3 runners today 12.20 Chasamax, 1.30 Versatlity and Morning Vicar in the 2.40, all at Kempton. Prices aren't great at 7/4, 7/4, 10/3, but a treble pays about 31.5/1. I do think James Bowen is riding poorly at the moment (although he did ride a winner for Henderson recently) and Jeremiah McGrath isn't riding well at the moment either, so won't be going overboard with the stake. Another one of interest is Global Tour in the 3.50, has decent form and Fergal O'Brien is another trainer in good form and his only runner today.
 
Unlucky Col, that would have been a massive payout, still about £500 for a 50p (£7.50) stake was it?

I got a text this morning saying Sean is at Exeter for Megaudais Speed in the 1.25, which the betting sort of backs up (50/1 into 20/1), however on all it's form so far I can't see how it will get close to getting placed. His other ride has more of a chance in my view. around the same price, is obviously thought to be ok, considering he was sent off the 15/8 fav in his first chase start, which was a better race than this.

Seans other horse has quite to improve from last two, if has got everything together and it was just two bad ones after promising start, could do well today. Will throw my few euros to win and place :thumbsup:

yes the return was just over that. It looks like Sean had no luck today
 
Bit of a longshot, but in the 1.55 at Cheltenham, Willie Mullins has his only runner of the meeting, Robin Des Foret. It has been running in decent races, usually getting placed or winning, likes soft/heavy ground, and is ok at the distance. Unlike his brother, I'm not really a massive fan of James Bowen, but he can pop the odd winner in, and had a 20/1 winner last week. He very rarely rides for Mullins, so that added to the fact its Mullins only runner there today, and he didn't have one running yesterday either, seems to be a long way to send one horse, if he isn't expected to take some prize money home.

Probably not the one to go overboard on, but could find worse horses to stick in an EW multiple to make the numbers up.

Currently around 18/1

I've taken generous day in the 1.55.
I took shine baby shine EW in the 12.15 at newcastle at 12-1 and it would have won if it wasnt given such a god awful ride
I think its a great day for racing.

Good luck with yours Col
 
yesterdays was 3rd at 16/1
Carlo Rocks should win the 12.10 this afternoon, currently about 5/2
That tip was quite a nice touch Col!
I didn't fair too well yesterday but this week was kind to me. I'm about to drag my lazy arse to the shops for my paper and I'll be back with my selections for today.

Incidently I love the maverick light on Roker seafront that refuses to conform to the rainbow theme :)

Yeah yesterday wasn't the easiest day :(

Haha yeah I've seen that :D you been down this morning?

Only in Ireland can you have 23 runners and a 1/3 fav! (the first race at Navan)
I was in Roker a few times last week Col

Bobo Mac in the 2.35 Ludlow is Sean's only ride of the day, and his first since 30th November. Not massively far from where he lives but still around a 3 hour drive. So that in itself makes me think he's not going there without expecting some prize money. Bit of a negative is the lack of money on Betfair for it, as a lot of Sean's rides get backed in regardless of if they are expected to win, and the trainer (who I've never seen Sean ride for before) is out of form, with his best result in the last 14 days being a 3rd, from 10 runners in that time. Wouldn't go overboard on it but will be having a small bet on it :)

In the 2.50 Lingfield, The Jean Genie looks good EW at around 7/1. Just beaten in its last race, which was better than this, hit the front too early and was just beaten by something coming from behind. With a better, and in form, jockey on today I think he has a great chance of winning this, especially as the first 2 in the betting are nothing special.

2 big priced ones for tonight that have a better than expected chance are Followthefootsteps in the 7.15 and Glorious Charmer in the 6.15, 14/1 and 33/1 respectively.
 
Just had the most bizarre afternoon ended up depositing £45 not even ONE place horse was in shock then I got four winners in last hour ended up with £44.

How strange this game is.
 
lol, at least you got your money back.
Sean's horse just wasn't good enough to beat the other favourite, but did beat the rest of the field easily.
The Jean Genie finished lame so excuse for that, worth watching for next time it's out :)
 
Another one, Duc Des Genievres in the 2.30 at Kempton. Bit risky as he hasn't been running well this season, but the 2 ahead of him in the market have serious questions about them. Sceau Royal is unlikely to like the ground and I don't think Capeland has done that much to be the deserved favourite in the race. Currently around 11/4.
Solar Heights in the 3.40 Wolves should do better than his price suggests too. Was 6/1 a couple of hours ago, now best priced 7/2
 
Not the best day, Sean's 1st one won at 9/2, then he didn't ride the second one, which came 5th.
Duc Des Genievres came second, I was right about the 2 at the front of the market as he beat both those,
Solar Heights didn't do anything
 
A speculative (very) small bet, £2 RFC on the 2 outsiders in the 2.05 Leicester. The 1/16 favourite is clearly the best horse in the race by far, but has never ran over fences, and 3 horse races regularly throw up weird results. Forecast won't pay massive as although they are 11/1 and 20/1, 3 horse races reduce the return quite a lot, I would imagine around £50 max.

In the 3.10 at Leopardstown, I know the owners of Kemboy and they expect him to win, but I also like Road to Respect, and I can't see him being out the first 3, and expect he will give Kemboy a run for his money.

I was told yesterday they expect Benarty Hill to win the 2.30 at Catterick, but the fact he was 12/1 when I looked and no money on Betfair put me off. Wish it hadn't as now its a best price of 9/2 with almost 50% of the trading on Betfair on him.

Good luck anyone having a bet today :)
 
I love the Irish racing because the usual big fields suit my each way betting.
I have taken Road to Respect also. I intend to chill out this afternoon and watch the sports :)
