Saturday could be a great day then again it could be a disaster! There are four scheduled jumps meetings, all of which will have inspections in the morning.
Lingfield is the only card guranteed to go ahead, so it will be fingers crossed, certainlt at Haydock, Wincanton and Ascot.
Saturdays Going;
- Ascot - Soft-Good to Soft in places (Prec Inspection 6.30am).
- Haydock - Chase: Heavy; Hurdle: Soft-Heavy in plcs (Prec Inspection 9.00am).
- Lingfield - Standard
- Uttoxeter - Heavy (Inspection 8.00am).
- Wincanton - Heavy (Inspection 8am).
I am going to assume that all is fine tomorrow and here are my Free Horseracing Tips for Saturday.
1:55 Haydock, Me Voici- Win. This is a really interesting race with the Triumph Hurdle only three weeks away. Me Voici was a really impressive winner at Chepstow last time when beating Sang Bleu by 10 lengths. I think that form is well ahead of anything else here and as such he can win here and put himself in the Triumph Hurdle picture.
3:00 Haydock, Adams Island- Win. I think this is a decent type who can land a three timer with Tony McCoy onboard. His win last time at Newbury was very impressive, winning going away, to get the better of a well regarded Paul Nicholls horse. The price may not be great however, but I really like this one and will have a decent bet.
3:15 Ascot, Planet Of Sound- Win. This was won by Voy Por Ustedes last year and though there are no big names on show this time round I think it will be a good race. It revolves around Planet Of Sound and Alberta Run. When the two met last time it was Albertas Run who came out on top but with six pounds better terms and two below par runs from Albertas Run I am siding with Planet of Sound, although it will be a close one in my view. Planet of Sound is the fresh horse and at the weights is my bet here.
Albertas Run lines up at Ascot
Betfair Chase – Ascot 3.15pm(William Hill bet): 2-1 Planet of Sound, 3-1 Herecomesthetruth, 9-2 Albertas Run, 13-2 Oh Crick, 7-1 Monet’s Garden, 16-1 The Sawyer (EW 1/4 1,2)
3:35 Haydock, Dream Alliance- Win and Place. This is the Blue Square Handicap Chase which is highly competitive, to say the least. Last time out he won the Coral Welsh National, with Silver By Nature and Le Beau Bai behind. Although he has been raised nine pounds by the handicapper I am prepared to back him to defy that and win again. testing conditions are right up his street, a win and place bet is recommended.
Deream Alliance
Blue Square Gold Cup – Haydock 3.35pm (William Hill bet): 11-2 Silver By Nature, 6-1 Le Beau Bai, 13-2 Dream Alliance, 7-1 Coe, 9-1 Miko De Beauchene, 12-1 Ballyfitz, Mon Mome, 15-1 According To John, Oscar Park, 16-1 L’Aventure,Our Vic, Pomme Tiepy, 20-1 Hello Bud, 66-1 Snoopy Loopy (EW 1/4 1,2,3,4)

Should haver put some money on Stacey last night….
thanks 4 the tips i think coe has a decent chance at haydock…
Dream Alliance is lookin like a classy chaser and I dont think the 9lb hike will bother him. I've backed him and also because he's a mudlark. Altho…Silver By Nature was staying on gamely in the Welsh Nash and would've beat Dream if he hadnt've made a mistake. I think Silver just might reverse the placings today. I've backed both and fancy a cheeky twist forecast too. BTW, the part 9/10 winners finished 1st or 2nd in their last race.

Bookies William Hill broke the oldest record in bookmaking history today when over £500,000 was bet on who would kill Archie Mitchell beating the low six figure sum bet on who shot JR some thirty years ago. In total Hills took over 40,000 separate bets the biggest for any soap / Whodunit's. Stacey was well backed and finished as the second favourite at 5/1 but in the end Hills have broken even."The BBC were amazing keeping this quiet we have broken even which in a market like this is amazing. We have had a roller-coaster but have enjoyed every minute," said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.Final Odds: 10/3 Sean Slater, 5/1 Stacey Slater, 6/1 Becca Swanson, 6/1 Grant MitchellStrangest request George the sixth month old baby and Wellard the dead dog?
