Big Handicap Tips

The Newmarket July meeting is underway and today’s card features the Falmouth Stakes. Saturday’s feature race is the July Stakes but we will sidestep those two races and have a crack at the two big handicaps at the weekend – the Bunbury Cup from Newmarket and the John Smith’s Cup from York.

We begin with the Bunbury Cup and the last 8 renewals have all been won by horses in the 4yo to 6yo bracket.

3yo runners are 1-21 and older horses (7yo and older) are 3-43, although two of those wins were by Mine at the ages of 7 and 8. All bar 1 of the last 18 winners had previous winning form over 7f.

In fact horses without a win over this specialist trip are 1-105 since 1997. Read More »Big Handicap Tips

Free Software – Top Ten Tipsters

Weird video number 2.

It turns out that the weird video on Saturday was a teaser for a main feature, there will be no acting awards for these guys but it did make me laugh!

There's also some free software for analysing trainers, which is one of my favourite ways to find winners.

This week’s top ten tipsters table produced by On Course Profits magazine has a new Number One and with Ascot having been the principle meeting this past week, a number of new services and some familiar faces seem to have fared well.

Our list of tipsters is updated weekly to highlight those services which are currently offering a healthy strike rate and demonstrate that they can provide consistent profitability.

All tipster results are based on Best Odds Guaranteed prices and results for the last 30 days.

All prices quoted below are at advised odds.

1. Value Backing – Strike Rate 11% ROI 117%

Value Backing landed the 12/1 shot on 17th June with Gm Hopkins and then went on to better that on the 18th when finding a great priced winner with 25/1 (advised) War Envoy which was backed in to 10/1. The number of selections may be few and the strike rate relatively low in comparison to other services, however, when the winners do come in they tend to come in big!

I hope you were on our Royal Ascot selections Solow, Bossy Guest and Dutch Connection earlier in the week. Today we take a look at the best bets on Friday’s card at the Royal Meeting and finish off with a crack at the ultra-competitive Wokingham handicap on Saturday.

Friday’s opener is the Albany Stakes, a 6f Group 3 race for fillies. Acapulco left a lasting impression in winning The Queen Mary and trainer Wesley Ward has another two solid chances in the Albany.

Laxfield Road bolted up over 5f on her only course start to date and it was 11 lengths to the runner up. This race is 6f (and a stiff 6f at that) but if she lasts it out she could be hard to catch. Whatever, happens she looks sure to give everything else a good tow into the race. Read More »Back at the Albany Ranch
