Horse Racing: Main Meetings – Part 1

There are different horse races being held almost every weekend, but some of them are known as main meetings or larger events. If you are serious about following each major event throughout the year, check out some of the best events you should see from March to July.

The Cheltenham Festival will start amazing series of horse races and spectacular events. This event is held in March, followed by Lingfield Park’s Bet Direct Winter Derby later on in the same month. These two events are also perfect for horse race betting, with avid punters placing a lot of wagers throughout the two events.

The Aintree Grand National Meeting, also known as the National Hunt, will be held in April. It is definitely one of the best chases throughout the season, with thousands of fans visiting the Aintree race track for some amazing races. You should also check out Scottish Grand National at Ayr. Craven Meeting will be held later on in April at Newmarket, followed by Bet365 Gold Cup Celebration at Sandown Park.

Newmarket’s Guineas Meeting will start the month of May. May Meeting at Chester Racecourse is next, with Dante Meeting following shortly after; the later event is held in York. Epsom Derby Meeting, the infamous Royal Ascot, and John Smith’s Northumberland Plate in Newcastle are all scheduled in June.

Sandown Park hosts another event, the Coral-Eclipse Meeting, in July. July Meeting at Newmarket as well as King George Day at Ascot and Glorious Goodwood at Goodwood are also scheduled in July.

Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle Entries

The Cheltenham Hurdles are always interesting to follow. One of the events that will surely be interesting is the Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle. It is the perfect event for talented horses, both young and old, and it is the true test to the end. Betting on one of the entries is just as exciting, especially with several interesting entries competing for this year’s hurdle in March.

The two horses you should be watching closely is Zaynar and Solwhit, with Khyber Kim following closely behind. N. J. Handerson’s grey Gelding, Zaynar, is showing spectacular 100% winning all 5 out of 5 previous races so far. The performance is backed by Handerson’s reputation as one of the most successful horse trainer in UK, placing Zaynar among the favorites in this race.

Solwhit’s performances are not to be taken lightly at all. Being 1 year older than Zaynar, Solwhit has more experiences running different races with just as spectacular results. It is only natural that Solwhit will be competing neck to neck against Zaynar in the upcoming Smurfit Kappa Champion Hurdle for the 1st place.

If you are looking for an alternative, Khyber Kim is more than just great. The horse is showing superb form and amazing preparations, making this particular contender not to be taken lightly. You should watch Khyber Kim’s amazing stamina and superb long sprint towards the finish line. This one might just steal the victory at the very last minute of the race, leaving Zaynar and Solwhit behind her.

Advanced Martingale for Horse Racing

4 December 2009 by admin, No Comments

Betting is a large part of horse racing, with punters from all across the nation — even the world — placing thousands of bets on each race. The key to successful horse race betting is of course maintaining profit, and it can only be achieved by having the best possible calculation method as well as a good betting system. Talking about betting systems, I came across a unique form of Martingale betting with a nice twist for horse race betting.

We all know that Martingale betting system is based on perpetual increase of wagering amounts each time we lose a bet. The advanced Martingale for horse race betting is still set around the same principle, but odds and probabilities are also included. You should notice how horses competing in certain race can have different odds, often spread apart quite widely, and that betting the same amount all the time may not be effective enough for this circumstance.

The first thing you need is odds base, usually the first bet you place. If the first bet you place a 5/1, then your following bets must be at least 5/1. If you place a bet worth £10 and lose, the next thing you should do is place another £10 with 5/1 odds. If you lose another bet, place similar £10 bet with 5/1. If you win at this point, you will get a cool £30 profit. If you lose, continue with additional one-half of your original bet for three times, followed by additional one-half for another three times, until you eventually win and make profit.
