Inside the Rails – Running A Horse Racing Syndicate

As you will see from my “About the Author” bio, I run BG Horse Racing Syndicates, through which I manage…

4 Steps To The Perfect Horse Racing Bankroll
Your bankroll is going to be one of the most important parts of your horse racing betting. If you have a bankroll that’s too small, you’re going to lose it during a bad streak and not have enough left to bet to see you through that bad streak and back out the other side. If you have a bankroll that’s…

Inside The Rails
How many times do we see stories in the racing press relating to high profile horses missing a big race target due to a minor injury or niggle, and how often do we read about horses that will miss the rest of the season through injury? I am sure you will realise that this happens all the time, and these…

Royal Ascot Highlights
Royal Ascot is over for another year. A strange meeting, a bit like this year’s Cheltenham Festival, it was a slow burner. The first two days took place under grey skies and torrential rain. There were no highlights off the track, and in all honesty, there weren’t many of them on the track either. Blue Points to Win On Tuesday…

Rough Magic
One of the beauties of being able to read books about the “sport of kings” is that we constantly learn new things! At the end of every month, I treat myself to a special half to sit down with a cup of tea and peruse Amazon’s book section. I can see why it’s called Amazon, thinking about it… “The Amazon is the…

Royal Ascot Special
Just one day to the start of Royal Ascot and, what I believe, is the best five days of horse racing anywhere in the world. Nearly 300,000 people will visit Royal Ascot over the next five days, including of course Her Majesty the Queen and various members of the Royal Family. Each day of Royal Ascot begins with the Royal…

The 4 Steps To Finding Winners Nobody Wants To Tell You
Wouldn’t it be great if all we needed to be profitable was a single rating, we always bet the top selected and counted our money. Over a decade ago, that was what I thought would happen. Which is why I completely understand when people ask me which of our ratings will make them a flat stake profit by betting the…

Liberty Set for Royal Ascot
Just seven days ago we were looking back at a weekend of Classic action. High class racing that took place under blue skies and warm sunshine. What a difference a week can make… Granted there was no lack of racing around the country. But it wasn’t the strongest summer Saturday in terms of quality. Even worse, the weather was more…

John Burke Monday EyeCatcher
In this week’s article I look back at the Derby & Oaks, and some interesting stats for those punting at Brighton. We’ve had four of the five English Classics already run, and the flat season is just two months old! Frankie’s Famous Five My decision to look at bigger priced horses in the Oaks meant I didn’t back Anapurna who…

Proven Stayers Required for the 2019 Ascot Gold Cup
The word ‘stamina’ is often used by both pundits and experts who are tasked with analysing a horse’s chances of success, and although it is just one of many aspects to consider when studying the form lines, it is surely the most important. There are a smattering of UK flat races throughout the summer months that require proven stayers, and…

Today I will be concentrating on previewing both next week’s Classics. I have to say both races have an open look about them. Let’s begin…

Derby Picture Gets Clearer or Does It?
It’s Monday again and my weekly look back at the best of last week’s action. On Saturday it was Lockinge Day at Newbury, and whilst there was some high-class racing at the Berkshire track, the rest of weekend’s racing was only moderate. That being the case, I thought it was a good time to look back at last week’s York…

Lingfield Hosts Derby & Oaks Trials
It’s Monday again and my weekly look back at the best of last weekend’s action. On Saturday it was Derby & Oaks Trials Day at Lingfield. The track is like Epsom, although overall, it’s a much sharper track. However, the conventional wisdom of most racing pundits is if a horse handles Lingfield it should be able to handle Epsom. Well…
