Doncaster Racing Betting Offer

October 24, 2008

The two day meeting which brings down the curtain on the British flat racing season begins at Doncaster on Friday, where a bumper seven race card provides plenty of opportunity for punters to have a bet. Irish bookmaker Paddy Power have chosen the final race on the card, the 5:10 for the feature of their daily cashback offer. They will refund your stake on this race if the horse that you back finishes second, beaten by a horse drawn in an odd numbered stall and with nineteen runners in the race, there is a good chance that they will be paying out. It looks a competitive affair with the betting 6/1 the field and several seemingly holding chances. The selection would have to be Nawamees, who has been running well all season and his form suggests that he should have no problem stepping up in class.

Longchamp Racing Tips

October 2, 2008

Sunday’s card at Longchamp is one of the most prestigious racing meetings of the annual European racing calendar. The feature race is the Prix l’Arc de Triomphe but their are also several other quality races on the card, with no fewer than five Group One races at one meeting in one day. Below, we preview each of the big races and the likely winners.

Prix De L’Abbaye
The Prix DeL’Abbaye is a Group One race run over five furlongs, it is a chance for the best sprinters around to come together to do battle, British horses have a particularly good record in this race and several trainers have once again sent their horses across the channel attempting to win this race. However, the pick of the bunch is the French horse, Marchand D’or, the Freddie Head trained runner has had a remarkable season already with three Group wins to his name and whilst he has only ever run once over this minimum trip before, he should have too much for his rivals.

Prix Marcel Boussac
This two year race over one mile has thrown up some big name winners down the years and another classic winner could well emerge from this field. Several of the runners appear to hold solid claims but the French horse, Elusive Wave looks the pick based upon his three wins so far this season with Jim Bolger’s Maoineach another to keep a close eye and could well be a classic contender come next season.

Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere
This race is another two year old event over the shorter trip of seven furlongs. Aidan O’Brien has five runners entered ad therefore, it would be difficult to look beyond the man who has trained the winner six times in the past ten years. Mastercraftsman is the pick of the Ballydoyle contingent and is already favourite for next year’s 2000 Guineas whilst another O’Brien runner in Rip Van Winkle also looks set to run a big race.

Prix L’Arc De Triomphe
The feature race of the day looks set to be a battle between the potential super-filly, Zarkava, and the Aidan O’Brien duo of Duke of Marmalade and Soldier of Fortune. O’Brien won the race last year with Dylan Thomas and in he has a pair this year equally as likely to land first prize, preference of the pair would be for Duke of Marmaladee, who has been near perfect when winning all five starts this season. However, Duke of Marmalade may well meet his match at Longchamp in Zarkava, a Filly that has yet to be beaten on a racecourse in six starts and shows no signs of slowing down when it comes to progress. The stats don’t read too well, with the last filly to win the race coming in 1993 and Zarkava having never raced against Colts in her career, however, it is worth ignoring the stats and concerntrating on the known fac that she is very classy and looks more than capable of confirming her favourtie tag.

Newmarket Cambridgeshire Tips

October 2, 2008

The Newmarket Cambridgeshire, is the first leg of the famous ‘Autumn Double’ of the UK flat racing season. A big field is always guaranteed for this 1mile 1furlong event and it is always a big race for betting. This year’s race sees Ladbrokes going 6/1 the field with its antepost book and this is likely to be the case come Saturday. The Luca Cumani trained Swop is the likely favourite for the race, having had an excellent season and would still appear open to plenty of improvement, having been on an upward curve all season. At 6/1 he is sure to prove popular and is one of the more likely winners.

The tip for this year’s Cambridgeshire is Master of Arts, who is currently a 14/1 shot with Ladbrokes. The Sir Mark Prescott trained three year old comes to the race on the back of an unbeaten season, consisting of six straight wins. Whilst his wins haven’t been over any noteworthy opponents, he has won all races in convincing manner, suggesting that he has more in the tank for a race like this. Saturday’s extra furlong likely to bring about further improvement and he certainly has an excellent chance of winning this race for a trainer who won this race in 2003

Newmarket Betting Offer - Extra Place with Paddy Power

October 2, 2008

The fantastic three day Cambridgeshire meeting at Newmarket gets underway on Thursay with seven fantastic races for punters to get their teeth into. The feature race of the first day is the Listed Noel Murless Stakes, which should see the Luca Cumani trained Savarain take all the beating.

The race Paddy power has chosen for its daily racing special is the 2:35, Tattersalls Auction Stakes, which sees a field of 30, two year olds go to post. It certainly looks a tough race to fnd the winner of and with such a big field, each way betting is probably the way to go. Paddypower are paying out each way terms on the first four horses home in this race, comapred to just three with other bookmakers.

Excellerator is the 3/1 favourite in this race and at 3/1 is probably too short to be backing with 29 rivals to beat. Therefore, an each way bet on Diddums at 12/1 is possibly a good bet. The William Haggas trained gelding has shown potential in his first three outings and a bid for the top four is certainly not out of the question.
