Liam’s Cheltenham Festival Thoughts for Day 3

Here are Liam’s thoughts for Day 3 at the Cheltenham Festival. I wonder whether there could be a quiet JP McManus gamble in the Pertemps Final but NOT on Sire Du Berlais!

Liam’s Cheltenham Festival Thoughts for Day 2

Here are Liam’s thoughts for Day 2 at the Cheltenham Festival. Writing these thoughts on paper (well typing them) have pushed me on to horses that I hadn’t considered. I can’t recommend enough to write your thoughts down and you will convince yourself of some and dissuade yourself of others!

Liam’s Cheltenham Festival Thoughts for Day 1

Here are Liam’s thoughts for Day 1 at the Cheltenham Festival. It’s always worth going through all horses (even if you don’t fancy them) and writing down some notes about them. Sometimes a horse you didn’t fancy starts looking appealing and some that you thought would run well don’t look as appealing.

Each Way Potentials for Cheltenham Handicaps

2 Each Way Potentials for the Cheltenham Festival Handicaps

With the handicap marks out yesterday for the Cheltenham Handicaps, could these be great Cheltenham handicaps each way potentials – let us know what you think!

Each Way Potential 1: Eamon An Cnoic @ 33/1 NRNB

Eamon An Cnoic is available at 33/1 NRNB with a few different bookmakers at the moment and on a strict Cheltenham formline with Spiritofthegames this is a crazy price. Sent off for this race last year at just 10/1 he ran a cracker to finish 4th behind 3 horses who all came into the race with big chances. RatingTheRaces TOP […]

Betfair Hurdle – JP potentials and 50/1 Shot!

2020-03-16T13:26:54+00:00February 5th, 2020|

Betfair Hurdle – Saturday 8th February – Can JP win it again?

This weekend sees the Betfair Hurdle return to Newbury after it was run at Ascot last year due to the Equine Influenza outbreak. It’s a race that has had some very talented winners in the past including Make A Stand, Landing Light, Get Me Out Of Here, Zarkandar, My Tent Or Yours and more recently Ballyandy and Kalashnikov.

Both Get Me Out Of Here and My Tent Or Yours were owned by JP McManus whilst he has also had Bleu Et Rouge, Movewiththetimes, Alaivan and Waxies Dargle run good races in recent years.

This year he has 3 possible entries […]

What makes the Best Horse Racing Ratings service?

The 4 main areas to choose the Best Horse Racing Ratings service!

Seems like a strange or biased article for a Ratings service provider to publish right? But once upon a time we were ratings service customers, rather than a ratings provider. Our experiences completely shaped the way we run the RatingTheRaces service today. Below is a short list of things that frustrated us when we were customers of Ratings services and our rules, we subsequently hold ourselves to.

ONLY ONE TOP RATED HORSE PER RACE

Seems obvious right? But so many services have a Top Rated, a Top Speed Rated, a Top Course Rated, a […]

Ante-Post Handicaps – Can I Land Another Touch?

Bet365 Trophy

Here is my analysis for some upcoming races including my Ante-Post selections for these races. Fingers crossed they all run!

Who do I (Liam) fancy in the Bet365 Trophy at Newmarket

The obvious starting point is Fujaira Prince who made my Royal Ascot Eyecatchers AND I suggested this race as his next likely target before a run in the Ebor later this season. Currently number 27 for this race, I would be surprised if he didn’t get in. He does also hold an entry for the 1m2f Diamond Jubilee Handicap at York the following day but that race wouldn’t really make any sense. He looks like […]

Liam’s Royal Ascot 2019 Eyecatchers & Targets

2019-06-25T13:59:36+01:00June 24th, 2019|

Here are my Royal Ascot Eyecatchers and where I think they should be targeted at!

Golden Horde – 5th in the Coventry Stakes over 6f

Golden Horde ran a great race for 5th despite looking very green. He tracked the early pace on the far side set by Monoski who faded back to 16th but drifted left and right and required some sharp straighteners from Adam Kirby. The front 3 are all likely to be smart with the hot favourite and TOP RATED Arizona winning suggesting the form should be strong. Golden Horde looks like he will be stepped up in distance sooner rather than later.

Potential Target: […]

RatingTheRaces Interview with Our Form Expert Liam!

RatingTheRaces Interview with Our Form Expert Liam!

RatingTheRaces: Royal Ascot has been good so far (going into day 3) with some big winners found. Can you tell us what made you pick The Grand Visir and Afaak?

Liam: Royal Ascot is going well, guaranteed a profit of 31 points is great and hopefully we can add to that today.

The Grand Visir, I’ve been a fan of for a little while now, ever since he won a handicap at Haydock over 2m. He finished really well that day under James Doyle for William Haggas and demonstrated to me that he was maybe even a pattern class horse.

After a few months […]
