Weekly Eye-catchers – Horse Racing
Well the sun is shining here, as it is if you had being following the eyecatchers last week with Duke Cosimo, landing a bit of a gamble at Ripon, backed into 5/1 and the filly Elbereth winning the big fillies & mares listed race at Nottingham at a generous 8/1. It got even better on Saturday as Blaine (8/1) landed…

Making a Profit from Favourites at All Weather Tracks
In this article I’ll look at the performances of favourites at All-Weather (AW) tracks in the UK. I will focus on Kempton, Wolverhampton, Lingfield and Southwell while leaving out Newcastle since it’s a relatively new AW track. AW tracks get a bad rap as punters have become convinced that they offer little or no value for money; particularly when backing…

Horse Racing – Where Does The Prize Money Go?
In financial terms, it appears as if UK horse racing is in rude health. For example, at the start of 2015, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) announced record prize money of ÂŁ130.8 million. This was a 6.2% increase on the 2014 figure which in itself was a record. At the same time, the number of runners decreased from almost 91,000…

The History of UK Triple Crown Races
The English Triple Crown Series refers to the 2,000 Guineas, Epsom Derby and St. Leger races that take place annually. Winning one of these races is tough enough; if a horse wins all three in the same calendar year then its name is guaranteed to go down in the annals of racing history. There are Triple Crown events all over…

What Happens When A RaceHorse Retires?
We typically only ever see racehorses when they are galloping in all their glory at tracks around the country. Serious horse enthusiasts may occasionally visit a stable to see how racehorses live but for most punters, interest in a horse wanes once it is retired. Approximately 5,000 racehorses are retired in the UK each year; this can be due to…

Fairbot Advanced Automation – Strategy Editor Today I’m going to show how you can program Betfair to place and trade your bets given certain criteria. You can do this using an Excel spreadsheet and link the spreadsheet into Betfair trading software, but, frankly, doing this is quite complicated and requires quite a bit of knowledge.

Frankel – The Horse Dreams Are Made Of
On 11th February 2008 at 11.40pm, Frankel, arguably the greatest thoroughbred horse in the history of racing, was foaled and weighed 123 pounds. He is the highest rated horse ever according to Timeform and captivated the world with his remarkable performances over his brief 3 year career. Frankel won all 14 races he entered and in truth, few horses ever…

As the masses all steer themselves to the betting shops for their annual crack at the biggest race of the year, it is surely luck that accompanies them as they pick out their Auntie’s dogs name, or because the horse sounds like that holiday we took back in ’86! There are two camps when it comes to the National. Those…
