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
