Feb 16 Horse Racing Betting Tips & Predictions
All the talk amongst horse racing punters at this time of year concentrates on the fast-approaching Cheltenham Festival when the biggest and best horses, jockeys and trainers will descend on Prestbury Park for four days of exciting action. Here are our Feb 16 horse racing betting tips and predictions.
We’ve watched on as trials and preparation legs have taken place, putting some of the races’ early contenders through their paces and allowing both backers and bookmakers to get a good look at their progress before deciding on how to bet and what to back.
We don’t usually turn our focus towards the Grand National at Aintree until the Cheltenham showpiece is in the books, but that is one of the main reasons many struggle to back a winner of British racing’s most-famous fixture. Months of time and effort go into the festival, but the same level of commitment doesn’t apply to the national, and it usually shows.
An Early Look
So, for those looking to change their approach this year and gain an early peek at how the ante-post betting is shaping up, Saturday brings the Grand National Trial Handicap Chase at Haydock Park. Three miles and four furlongs stand between the starting pack and a winner of this Grade 3 contest and we’ve enjoyed some memorable outings over the years.
The event was launched way back in 1947 but the first running didn’t take place until 12 months later due to bad weather. Gallery was entered as the first champion when doing the business for Prendergast and Bissell. Some famous champions have followed, including Red Rum in 1975, Shotgun Willy 2003 and Silver By Nature’s double in 2010 and 2011.
Yala Enki joined that exclusive winner’s club 12 months ago, the victor trained by Venetia Williams with Charlie Deutsch sitting in the saddle. Who will wrestle the crown from that team this year? It’s anyone’s guess at this stage, but bookmakers believe they have the winner nailed down when putting forward their ante-post list.
