2014 Racing Prospects – 07/05

Posted on May 7, 2014 by longshotbetting

Third week of posting, with three further horses to add to the list. Unfortunately, it was a bit disappointing with Golden Town running pretty terribly on handicap debut at Newmarket last Saturday. He got no cover, was too keen and … Continue reading →

The 3yo Fillies’ division is crying out for a real star

Posted on April 21, 2014 by longshotbetting

With less than two weeks until the 1000 Guineas, thoughts have rightly turned to finding some decent value within the race. But, you have to say that the division is really open this season, especially with the untimely death of Chriselliam, … Continue reading →

Listen, Australia is the forgotten horse in the 2000 Guineas

Posted on April 18, 2014 by longshotbetting

It might be folly to state that a horse is “forgotten” when it is currently 2nd favourite, and trading at best price of 4/1 with the traditional bookmakers. However, he really has been overlooked in the past few weeks, and … Continue reading →

Ladbrokes World Hurdle Preview

Posted on March 12, 2014 by longshotbetting

The Thursday of the Cheltenham Festival sees a shorter card than usual as the Charity Race closes the day off and that isn’t obviously a race to bet in. As always, it’s a fine card today and I’m much looking … Continue reading →

LSB – Thursday 23rd January

Posted on January 23, 2014 by longshotbetting

I must apologise for the late posting, but just the one selection today, coming from Warwick. Wednesday was another profitable day, with everything going right for Cooldine Run and he won comfortably. He jumped and travelled well after there was … Continue reading →

LSB – Wednesday 22nd January

Posted on January 22, 2014 by longshotbetting

Tuesday was a winning day for the blog with Rocky Stone doing the job nicely at a price of 11/2, a slight drift from the 5/1 advised, but obviously with best odds guaranteed concession attached. He doesn’t look like he’ll … Continue reading →

LSB – Saturday 18th January

Posted on January 18, 2014 by longshotbetting

Friday started as Thursday had ended, with another 2nd. Titus Bolt did everything I’d expected to and was given a fine ride by Henry Brooke. He was allowed an easy lead and he got first run on them turning for … Continue reading →

LSB – Friday 17th January

Posted on January 17, 2014 by longshotbetting

Thursday’s selection in Hansupfordetroit continued the poor run of form for the blog, finishing 2nd after looking for a while that the race was at his mercy. His front-running rival fell about 4 out and he had plenty of distance … Continue reading →
