Ascot QE II Betting Tip

September 26, 2008

The Ascot QE II meeting is one of the highlights of the flat racing calendar, it is the meeting at which Frankie Dettori rode all seven winners in 1996 and for that reason alone, it still proves a very popular day for betting.

The pick of the action is the QE II stakes, which is a Group One event over one mile. It has been won by some of the biggest names in flat racing down the years and this year is no different, with one of two horses destined for great things likely to be heading to the Ascot winners enclosure shortly after 4:15 on Saturday. Henrythenavigator and Tamayuz are the two favourites in the betting for this race and many bookmakers cannot splt the pair with both available at 6/4 with Bet365. Both horse have had a fantastic season with only one defeat each from a combined nine runs, however, one of them will be head back across to either France or Ireland dissapointed. The French horse, Tamayuz, is the horse who we feel is the one to be on given the manner in which he won his last race, suggesting further improvement could be likely. However, Henrythenavigator cannot be ruled out and if bouncing back from defeat last time out, when the ground was not to his liking he could easily return to the kind of form that saw him win races such as the 2000 Guineas, St James’s Palace Stakes and Sussex Stakes earlier in the season.

Ascot Racing Cash Back Offer

September 26, 2008

Friday’s card is brimming with top class action, with several competitive looking races on offer. The 2:45 is the race Paddypower have chose for their daily cash back offer.

If you have a bet in this race and your selection finishes second behind Speedy Dollar, they will refund your losses.

Speed Dollar is the 3/1 favourite for the race, despite 18 runners set to go to post in this handicap. This Michael Jarvis trained sprinter still looks unexposed over the 6 furlong trip and if he does find expected further improvement he is likely to take some beating. However, Laddies Poker Two is a very lightly raced three year old (only ever ran twice) and could be anything in a race like this. Support in the beting would be significant for this runner as he could very well be a cut above his opponents on only his second start in handicap company.
