Horse Racing: Paddy Power Gold Cup Tip

Paddy Power Gold Cup

Cheltenham (2.35pm UK time)

I always like to back horses who have done well at Cheltenham before in this race so that is where I will start in assessing today's field in the big betting race of the day.

Horse Racing: Lays of the Day 11 Nov 2011

This is the best horse to lay at Cheltenham today:

4.05 Cheltenham

I will be joining the rush to lay GRANDS CRU in this and I wasn't at all surprised to see it very weak in the market this morning. Although the horse is very talented and finished just 5 lengths behind Big Bucks in this year's Ladbrokes World Hurdle, I think it is asking too much of him to come out and win his first race over fences. At 3.1 on Betfair I will be pressing that pink button.

BR Betting Advice:

Lay Grands Cru in the 4.05 Cheltenham at 3.1 on Betfair (Win Market)

Horse Racing: Lays of the Day 8 Nov 2011

These are the horses to bet against today: 

3.50 Huntingdon

I will take a chance that favourite GEORGE FERNBECK isn't as good as he should be and will lay him in the Win Market on Betfair. Although this yard has a decent record in bumpers, and the horse is out of a half-sister to an Italian St Leger winner, I think he is too short in the market. Definitely worth taking on at 3.15 on the exchange. 

BR Betting Advice: 

£50 lay George Fernbeck in the 3.50 Huntingdon at 3.15 on Betfair (Win Market)

Horse Racing: Breeders' Cup Bets

A memorable Flat season concludes at Churchill Downs in Kentucky tonight when Goldikova bids for an unprecedented fourth consecutive success in the Breeders' Cup Mile. What are the best bets to make on the biggest night on the US racing calendar?

Breeders' Cup Mile (6.07pm Kentucky, 10.07pm UK)

If Goldikova wins the Breeders' Cup Mile, for the fourth year running on Saturday , the tens of thousands of fans inside America's most famous racecourse will agree that there will never be another horse quite like her.

Horse Racing: November Handicap Tip

The Betfred November Handicap (on Channel 4 at 3.10 UK time) is the big betting race of the day and signals the end of the British turf flat season for another year. It is usually a race that should be avoided. Often run in heavy going and contested by horses who have had a long season, the results speak for themselves.
