I was planning on not making any horse racing selections today as I fly to see my daughter just after midnight tonight but I have a little time to spare and am hoping to do better than yesterdays three winning racing tips so I can away on a high and with some extra spending money.

Todays horse racing selections will be available before the first race of the day.

Saturday Scoop 6 & Horse Racing Tips

In Fridays racing tips email I wrote "Not a bad day yesterday with best horse racing bet and both top rated winning. That cannot happen today because the first top rated Broomielaw 4/5 4.10 Doncaster, is a ridiculously short price probably because it has been put out as a free email tip by a well known tipster and Tanya from channel four racing also gives it a big write up. At the RP forecast 2/1 it was a possible best bet but now it is included for the jackpot but no bet otherwise. The second top rated Raccoon 6/4 7.10 Catterick gets 4 points win.

I have put up my jackpot tips but the Doncaster meeting looks a veritable minefield with big fields and four maiden races."

Both the top rated horses won very easily unlike my main tips which all failed to win, but yet again my jackpot tips contained 3 winners - one a stonking 20/1 - 4 placed horses and two forecasts - exactas, the first of which paid £153.80 CSF £132.10

So I will sleep on it and consider changing my strategy to stop at a winner or similar but that does pose problems for proofing my horse racing tips, hmmm.

Winning horse racing tips Wednesday

I am seriously considering making some changes to my betting strategy, my jackpot placepot tips are throwing up a fair few winners and even more placed horses even though the jackpot race meetings do not always feature what are considered "good" betting races.

Take today's Salisbury races for example, the first three races are maidens with 14 horses racing in each of them of which about a third have never run on a racecourse before. So with very little form to go on, to pick a horse to back the most relevent stats available are trainer and jockey course statistics and recent stable form. Alas these may mean nothing when racing against an unraced hotpot.

This does however mean that there is more chance of longer priced horses winning which, if you get them right, means higher returns and especially a higher return for the jackpot placepot as less people are likely to get a share of the pool. Yesterdays results at Salisbury back up this theory with only one favourite winning and only one favourite being placed! Not a favourite backers day there then. I tipped up one winner, one second and 3 thirds so backing place only would have shown a tidy profit.

So is place backing my jackpot placepot tips the way to go?

As I write at Salisbury I tipped the horse that came second in the first race and the winner of the second

Tuesday Horse Racing Tips

I had really high hopes of my next best racing tip today, Lindens Lady was declared last night at Thirsk but did not run at its local racecourse. The trainer Weymes who has been in great form recently chose instead to send Lindens Lady 296 miles down to Brighton racecourse. She not beaten far her only previous try at Brighton races four years ago and had a decent apprentice,Patrick Hills,up today but she didnt even manage a place!

Very dissappointing indeed, maybe time to put Weymes on the cold trainers list? I really hope not as I also chose a Weymes horse for my second longshot tonight, Drink to me only at Musselburgh.

Listening to Will Hill radio as I type I just heard that the other northern raider at Brighton won easily - Ishebee for a Duffield,5/1. Doh! Thats racing and gambling for you, so many factors to take into account a case of the right factors here just the wrong race.

How to Create Your Own Winning Horse Racing System

A useful article for newcomers to horse racing systems:

Most people think that you need to be an expert to produce a successful and profitable horse racing system which produces winner after winner.

However creating your own winning system is not difficult if you follow these 9 simple steps.

Let’s consider a hypothetical horse called ‘Old Nag’ and see if conforms to these 9 steps!

All the relevant information on ‘Old Nag’ can be found in the offline or free online version of the ‘Racing Post’ which is the industries leading newspaper.

* The number of runners in a race will obviously affect the chances of ‘Old Nag’ winning. A big field means more competition. It follows that it would be difficult to pick a winner in a race of more than 12 runners.

* The type of ground a horse is running on is one of the most important factors in the outcome of a race. The ‘going’ should be good or good to firm. If the going is soft or heavy then the outcome of the race could well only depend only on the size of ‘Old Nag’s’ feet!

* When a horse ran its last race is also important. If ‘Old Nag’ has not run for a while it would be difficult to judge its present form. Its last race should have been run in the present season, and no longer than 28 days ago. The shorter the period from its last race the better.

* Of course it would not be a good bet if the horse ran a few days ago only to come in last! It follows that its form or where it was placed in the last few races is important. Ideally you would want ‘Old Nag’ to have come in first or second in the last 3 races.

* The distance the race has to be run is also important. If the race is too short ‘Old Nag’ may not have enough time to show its true form. On the other hand if the race is too long anything could happen… the apocalypse might come, or the jockey might fall asleep! A safe distance would be between 5 furlongs and less than 3 miles.

* The ‘Racing Post’ is the countries leading newspaper on all things to do with horse racing. Only the top tipsters appear in this paper. Their forecast for the winner of each race appears in a part of the Racing Post called ‘The Selection Box’. If 60 to 80% of them tip ‘Old Nag’ as the potential winner then its time to sit up and take note.

* The letters C and D sometimes appear in the horses form. The C means the horse has been a winner over this particular course at sometime in the past. The D means he has been a winner over the distance the present race is being run. If C or D (or preferably both) appear then this is a strong indication that the horse should be considered.

* Handicap races are notoriously difficult to predict as theoretically all horses should pass the finishing line at the same time. So choosing non handicap races means even ‘Old Nag’ might have a chance.

* Finally favourites win around 33% of the time. So look out for favourites especially if they are 3/1 or lower in the betting.

Of course even if ‘Old Nag’ meets all these criteria there is still no certainty that it will win. There is a way, however, where you will ALWAYS profit from a race. You can email me at ian.paton3@btinternet.com for more information on this.

Winning Horse Racing Tip

Just the one today, my first longshot Paparaazi won 13-2, he was held up, made headway over 4f out, then led over 1f out, driven out to win by half a length. The second long shot dissappointed leaving it too late in the race and made no impression final furlong ending up 5th with Blackheath 4th.

Mark johnstons two runners did not run up to expectations so I am half glad that I had too much housework to do to be able to go to Catterick races even though it looked a perfect day to be at the race course.

Racing Tips 7th August Catterick & Chepstow

Where do the minutes, hours, days, weeks go? Or in other words why am I too short of time to blog? Well, as a full time housewifewho hates housework it seems to take up an inordinate amount of my time and the space in my head yet can never be said "to be done". I guess that is just the nature of the beast.

Racing today is at Chepstow and Catterick and both look very tricky race meetings indeed. The tote jackpot is at Chepstow - another jackpot winning day would be just the best possible result right now.

Anyway on to today's free racing tips as sent in my email earlier today:


Just two meetings today but hey both look very tricky. Mark Johnstons horses seem to be firing again so the top rated Osolomio 11/10 3.30 Catterick is passed over in favour of his Frosty Night at 4/1, 3 points win and a one point double with my nap also a 2yo Johnston horse.

Mark Johnston has a 40% strike rate in 2yo non-handicaps at the track, for a profit of £30.48. Mark Johnston also posts a profit in handicaps for non-juveniles at Catterick, especially with 3yo against older horses, a profile fitted by Frosty Night.

Best bet: Miesko 9/4 3.00 Catterick 6 points win

Next best bet: Attilas Peintre 10/3 &2.30 Catterick 5 points win, 1 point double

Two pts each way & 0.5 ew dble: Paparaazi 7/1 4 Catterick, Throw The Dice 8/1 5.30 Catterick

Combination Exacta: Throw The Dice, Ballybunion, Blackheath 5.30 Catterick

Top rated shorties: Osolomio 11/10 3.30 Catterick

Chepstow Jackpot Placepot
2.15 Pole Dancer, Soviet Sceptre
2.45 Plaka, Dont Tell Anna
3.15 Brassini
3.45 What A Dancer
4.15 Kashmir Lady
4.45 Own Boss, Timber Treasure

Good luck
