Glorious Goodwood Betting Tips – Tuesday 28th July
July 27, 2009
The Glorious Goodwood meeting gets underway on Tuesday and as always, this five day Racing festival promises to make fantastic watching for Racing fans, with several top class Group events on the cards, together with some great handicaps and with four races live on Channel 4 every day it is one of the biggest weeks of the year for business in the betting industry as punters get stuck in to the many Goodwood Betting Opportunities.
Three Group races are the feature of the opening day of the 2009 Goodwood meeting, with the Group Two Betfair Cup the pick of the bunch but the Group Three Gordon Stakes and Molecomb Stakes have also attracted some of the biggest names in Flat Racing to the West Sussex course.

In the Betfair Cup, the Sir Michael Stoute trained July Cup runner up, MAIN AIM, will be looking to go one better with this drop in class and step up to 7 furlongs, which looked like it was in need when running on at Newmarket earlier this month. He is generally around a 2/1 chance and should justify his short price at the expense of next in the market, South African runner, JJ the Jet Plane, who finished only 1/2 length behind Main Aim in the July Cup but the former did look the better prospect on that occasion. None of the others stand out on form and Main Aim is the selection for a stable clearly in excellent form following his dominance of the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes on Saturday, where he trained the first three home.
In the 2:45 Betfair Gordon Stakes, former Aidan O’Brien runner, MASTEROFTHEHORSE, could be very difficult to beat on his first run for his new stable, the Debbie Mountain yard in Newmarket. His last two runs came in the English and Irish versions of the Derby, where he finished 3rd behind Sea the Stars and Fame and Glory at Epsom, form that could not read any better. His efforts in the Irish Derby weren’t to that shown at Epsom but he was caught speed on the soft ground and still finsihed a credible fourth. To win this race, he needs to reproduce the kind of form he has already proved he is capable of, whilst his rivals must all find something more than they have shown so far in their careers.
The Molecomb Stakes is the final live race of the day on Channel 4 and looks a fairly competitive affair with sevral holding seemingly very good chances. However, it will take a special horse to better the efforts of those produced by MONSIEUR CHEVALIER this season. The Richard Hannon trianed two year old has won five of his six starts in 2009 and has improved with every run. His only blemish came in the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot when he was badly hampered in running and he put a line through that form when impressivley landing the Weatherby’s Super Sprint at Newbury last time out. Two year old races have always got to be appraoched with caution becuase many runner will still be improving, particularly at this level, but in Monsieur Chevalier, we could have a very smart horse and very much for the future.
