Horse Racing UK | Free Tips | Windsor Stats & Best Bets

Not much luck in the afternoons racing for the stats and best bets, with just London Protocol placing at 7/1 (advised 11/1).

Onto the evening cards, and hopefully a change of luck…..

WINDSOR

George Baker has been in great form over the last fortnight, with a 32% strike-rate from 22 rides (LSP +£23.71).

Baker also has a good record here at Windsor over recent seasons, with a Level Stake Profit of +£45.73 (£1 stakes) – 17% strike-rate.

Baker has 2 mounts this evening at Windsor, firstly with Pearl Blue in the opener, and then Mutatis Mutandis in the 8:05

6:05 – PEARL BLUE 2/1 – Sky Bet WIN

8:05 – MUTATIS MUTANDIS 6/1 – Coral WIN

6:35

Pat Cosgrove is showing a Level Stake Profit of +£70.96 this season (£1 stakes), and has had 6 wins from his last 30 rides (20% SR).

Cosgrove has had 2 wins from 3 rides in 2 year old maidens this year.

BOURNE SYMPHONY 50/1 – 888 Sport

8:35

Trainer Richard Hannon is having decent success at Windsor this season, with a LSP of +£20.56 (£1 stakes). He saddles course-distance winner, 2 weeks ago, Sydney Ruffdiamond, in the 8:35 Handicap

SYDNEY RUFFDIAMOND 9/4 – Paddy Power

Premier League | Relegation Battle | Hull City Look Destined For Relegation

It was another disappointing result for Steve Bruce’s Hull City at the weekend, as they lost their 3^rd successive league game, and their 6^th in 8 games, as they went down 2-0 to Spurs, with goals from Chadli and Rose. 

I had tipped The Tigers for relegation a while back, with their run of very tough fixtures to end the season, and it now looks like reality, as Hull need a win against United on the last day, to have any chance of Survival.

The other team I had mentioned as dangers for relegation, were Newcastle, who lost their 9^th game from the last 10 at the weekend, despite leading 1-0 at Half-Time against relegated QPR, who eventually won 2-1, thanks to goals from Phillips and Fer. The Magpies now sit just above Hull, 2 points ahead, but can still survive, whatever their result against West Ham, should Hull City fail to win.

Sunderland are the remaining team in danger, sitting in 16^th, 1 point ahead of Newcastle, but with that game in-hand, against Arsenal, on Wednesday night, and then ending the season away to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

It’ll be tough for Newcastle and Sunderland to pick up any points now with the remaining game(s), but I don’t believe Hull will beat United, and its Steve Bruce’s team that will go down in my opinion, as previously feared.

The main talking point of the weekend though, has to be that of Southampton’s Sadio Mane, who managed to grab the quickest hat-trick you’ll possibly, ever see, in just 2 minutes 56 seconds, against Aston Villa. Villa were shocking to be fair, but you still have to be in the right place, and finish, and that’s what he did. That’s now 10 goals and 3 assists in 29 Premier League appearances (6 as sub) for the Senegalese international, who arrived from Austrian club, RB Salzburg in September.

Free Horse Racing Tips | Monday's Stats & Best Bets | Redcar

The start of a new week, and it’s a wet and windy day across all the meetings from the UK, with action from Leicester, Redcar, Southwell (AW), Towcester, and Windsor, as well as action from Roscommon in Ireland.

Free Horse Racing Tips | Saturday’s Stats & Best Bets

It was another great day for the stats and best bets post again yesterday, as 16/1 (SP 14/1) shot MASTEROFDECEPTION won for trainer Dr Richard Newland, in the 8:10 Class 3 handicap at Aintree. So, it’s the same again today, as we try to find a few more winners in the evening card from Doncaster.

DONCASTER

6:15

Charlie Appleby has been in good form of late, with a 23% strike-rate over the last fortnight. He teams up with 3lb claimer Kevin Stott who takes the ride on Sound Reflection.

When teamed up this year, the combination boasts a 32% strike rate, with 6 wins from 19, and 3 wins from 9 on 4+ year olds.

SOUND REFLECTION – 7/2 888 Sport

7:15

Jockey Oisin Murphy has an excellent record at Doncaster, with a 30% strike rate (7 wins from 28 rides), and a LSP of +£36.88 (£1 stakes). He’s also been in good form over the last couple of weeks, with 5 wins in his last 23 rides (22% SR).

AUSSIE RULER – 6/1 Coral

The trainer teams up with Jamie Spencer, who is another who has a good LSP at this course, +£34.07 (£1 stakes) over the same period, with an 18% strike-rate from 142 rides.

USTINOV – 8/1 Coral

Horse Racing UK | LOCKINGE STAKES

There’s plenty of racing to look forward to across the UK today, with action across 6 meetings including Newbury, and the feature race, the Group 1 AL SHAQAB LOCKINGE STAKES (British Champions Series).

If you’re not signed up to all the online bookmakers, check our FREE BETS PAGE, there’s loads of offers on this race, including Coral; 5/1 Night Of Thunder to be PLACED, or Sky Bet are offering an EXTRA place on each-way bets!

Richard Hannon took the prize last year, with Olympic Glory beating today’s Opponent Tullius. That was Hannon’s 3^rd Lockinge in 5 years, and he heads into this year’s with current favourite Night Of Thunder, and last year’s Craven Stakes winner, Toormore.

Three of the last 4 winners in this race have been 4 year olds, and 5 of the last 7, with only Paco Boy and Farhh the exceptions, at 5 year old.

But, with this being the largest ever field for the Group 1 mile, you never know what’s going to happen. I expect Night Of Thunder (10/3)to be right up there in the mix, and has every chance of adding a second Group 1 success to his name, having won the Qipco 2000 Guineas Stakes last year, beating hugely talented, 6/4 favourite, Kingman, at 40/1. He’s run well in defeat since, with the 10f Coral Eclipse test an exception.

The other one I like in this race is Sir Michael Stoute-trained Integral (7/1), who was a little disappointing when last seen in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes at Ascot in October, finishing 16 lengths off Charm Spirit, although that was in Heavy conditions, and she didn’t get a clear run with a furlong to go. These ground conditions will suit much better, and I’m expecting a strong run today, and a return to form.

Enjoy the racing, and I hope you grab a few winners today. Check back soon for more stats, tips and general chat on football and horse racing. Our racing stats and best bets found 16/1 winner MASTEROFDECEPTION yesterday, and 20/1 winner SIR DYLAN last week, amongst others, so get following!
