Best Wishes to Freddie Tylicki In the last week, horse racing has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Firstly, jockey Freddie Tylicki was involved in a shocking looking four horse pile up at Kempton on Monday 31st October. That incident has left the jockey paralysed from the waist down which is heartbreaking for both him and his family.…

Place Betting on Favourites: Does It Pay?

Qipco Champions Day at Ascot looked on paper like the best days horse racing of the season and so it turned out to be.

The Jockeys to Trust Your Cash With
When it comes to betting on horseracing, punters need to ask the question: Do you bet on the horse, the trainer or the jockey? In the end, sensible bettors know that you don’t rely on any single one of the above. In previous Race Advisor articles, we looked at the top jockeys and determined that ‘betting blind’ was a recipe…

Davison…
