PG's Tips: Aintree Grand National 2015
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/04/aintree-grand-national-2015.html
Friday, April 10, 2015. Aintree Grand National 2015. A P McCoy's final Grand National ride is Shutthefrontdoor. The horse is certain to be overbet, start favourite and provide no value whatsoever but should the champion jockey achieve the improbable and go on to win, he is likely to retire on the spot while the bookmaking industry collectively will huddle in a corner calculating losses on an unprecedented scale. Second in 2014. Ran in the Glenfarcas Cross Country Chase at the Cheltenham Festival befo...

PG's Tips: Kempton considerations
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/02/kempton-considerations.html
Friday, February 20, 2015. Sixteen were originally declared for tomorrow's feature at Kempton, the BetBright Chase (3.45), but with What A Warrior now a non-runner, most layers have reacted by offering each-way terms a quarter the odds three places; at the time of writing Betfred / totesport and BetVictor were paying four places. In a race that often goes the way of a younger chaser, I'll take no more than a small each-way interest in Le Reve. 9/1) - he won well the last day at Sandown. On ratings Gods O...

PG's Tips: Derby day deliberations 2015
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/06/derby-day-deliberations-2015.html
Friday, June 05, 2015. Derby day deliberations 2015. My record in the Derby speaks for itself - one win in forty odd attempts; this year's renewal looks decidedly mediocre. John Gosden saddles the top two in the betting. Favourite Golden Horn beat stablemate Jack Hobbs (Elm Park third) in the Dante; Frankie Dettori rides and the media have practically written the story already. The unfortunate withdrawal of Zawraq has taken some of the interest out of the race. For me, two intriguing runners have shown a...

PG's Tips: Cheltenham Festival 2015 - Friday
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/03/cheltenham-festival-2015-friday.html
Thursday, March 12, 2015. Cheltenham Festival 2015 - Friday. A very open renewal of the Cheltenham Gold Cup with eighteen set to face the starter at 3.20. On official ratings favourite Silviniaco Conti (174) has seven pounds in hand over nearest rival Road To Riches (167) but his track record isn't impressive - he fell three out in the 2013 running of this race and finished a slightly disappointing fourth last year, two lengths behind shock winner Lord Windermere. Ireland's challenge is spear-headed by W...

PG's Tips: A Grimthorpe outsider
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/02/a-grimthorpe-outsider.html
Friday, February 27, 2015. At this time of year Cheltenham, less than a fortnight away, proves something of a distraction and this year the distraction is compounded by the fact this is A P McCoy's valedictory Festival. To my mind the champ has never quite left his mark on the meeting in the way, say, as Ruby Walsh has in the past. I can still recall his anguish when Gloria Victis fell fatally two from home in the 2000 running of the Gold Cup won by Looks Like Trouble. At the prices Samingarry. Something...

PG's Tips: Cheltenham Festival 2015 - Wednesday
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/03/cheltenham-festival-2015-wednesday.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2015. Cheltenham Festival 2015 - Wednesday. Is Sprinter Sacre the horse he used to be? Probably not is the answer coming out of Nicky Henderson's yard. Of course, Sprinter wouldn't need to be at his absolute best to win this year's renewal of the Queen Mother Champion Chase but the air of circumspection from connections together with the fact he's priced up at 7/2 is enough to put me off. Dodging Bullets is the season's form two-miler but trainer Paul Nicholls states:. The RSA can be a...

PG's Tips: Market Rasen Summer Plate 2015
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/07/market-rasen-summer-plate-2015.html
Friday, July 17, 2015. Market Rasen Summer Plate 2015. Tomorrow's card at Market Rasen represents the highlight of the summer jumping progamme. Two trainers come to the meeting in excellent form - John Ferguson (24 winners from 61 runners, strike rate 39.34%) and Dan Skelton (23 winners from 65 runners, strike rate 35.38%). The feature, the listed Betfred Summer Plate, looks as competitive as ever with 16 set to face the starter at 3.30. Brave Spartacus (12/1) made all to win this competitive-looking eve...

PG's Tips: What are we going to do without Tony McCoy?
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/04/what-are-we-going-to-do-without-tony.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. What are we going to do without Tony McCoy? On 7th April 1993 the great Peter Scudamore retired with 1678 winners on the board. That day, I turned to my wife and inquired, in a semi-rhetorical sort of a fashion, 'Tell me, dear, what are we going to do without The Scu? Into the breach stepped one Anthony Peter McCoy. Tomorrow A.P. McCoy brings the curtain down on a stellar career with well over 4,000 winners in the bag. The man is a colossus, we have never seen his like before.

PG's Tips: Cheltenham Festival 2015 - initial thoughts
http://pgstips.blogspot.com/2015/03/cheltenham-festival-2015-initial.html
Friday, March 06, 2015. Cheltenham Festival 2015 - initial thoughts. As Alan Lee pointed out in a snippet in The Times earlier this week, Willie Mullins trains the market leaders for four of the seven races on the opening day (Douvan 7/4, Un De Sceaux 8/13, Faugheen 5/4 and Annie Power 8/13), yet layers are still convinced Great Britain will collect the Prestbury Cup (most winners over the four days); Coral currently bet 7/2 Ireland. The top two in the Champion Chase market (Sprinter Sacre and Sire De Gr...

Betting Blog – Bang and Pod’s bets. Not all gamblers are losers! Laquo; Betting update. Its been a while. We have still been betting, well, losing, just not been updating the site. Last month we ended up 36 down. That ends or winning streak. This month has been a disaster. First bet won but that was only 50. From then we had 4 losing bets in a row, with the last bet being for 150. That bankrupts us for this month. Very disappointing. Overall loss in 3 years is 906. January 31st, 2010 at 7:47 pm.
