Weekly Eye-catchers – Horse Racing

A shorter article than normal this week as there wasn’t much top class horse racing to look back at last week or over the weekend with the Shergar Cup taking centre stage.

Is It Possible To Make a Profit by Laying the Favourite?

As horse racing is notoriously difficult to predict, an increasing number of punters are looking to make a profit by laying favourites.

Important Royal Ascot Trends

Day 1 Queen Anne Stakes The Queen Anne Stakes is a fine opening race and tends to start the festival off with a bang.
