Horse Racing Betting: Lingfield Park September 5th 2024 Betting Tips & Prediction
Lingfield Park hosts afternoon flat racing this Thursday 5th September. Eight races await getting underway…
Horse racing enthusiasts haven’t been short of interest in the opening few weeks of the flat season with plenty of drama thrown in for good measure. We’ve had close finishes, controversy and more than a couple of big priced winners. Great news for punters and, what’s more, there’s plenty more to come in the recent weeks. Here are our top June 29 horse racing betting tips.
Saturday’s UK and Irish schedule is highlighted by the Irish Derby and that is supported by the Northumberland Plate and Criterian Stakes. Plenty to get through and bookmakers have offered up their views on each of the major races by giving antepost markets. This allows backers the chance to get in early and secure a better price about their predictions.
Back your horses as a single and aim to edge a profit over the course of the day or aim higher and throw a few together in one of the popular multiples, such as a Lucky 15 or accumulator. If you’d prefer to avoid the unpredictability of the race winner market there are enough specials to hold your interest. Play each-way with enhanced place terms, without the favourite, match bets, against the field and even Tote bets.
Focussing on the top of the bill race, the Irish Derby, we look back through the trends in an attempt to pick-up a clue as to how this year’s renewal may go. Firstly, let’s remind ourselves of the basics. The Irish Derby was first run in 1866 and the modern version of the race is a Group 1 contest decided over one mile and four furlongs on the flats of Curragh.
Ireland’s equivalent of the Epsom Derby, it attracts a sell out audience with millions more watching the race around the world thanks to the live TV coverage. You can view the race on ITV this Saturday or take advantage of the extended coverage provided by Racing UK. Modern backers can also follow a live HD quality stream on their mobile betting app when downloading with the likes of Bet365. If you place a bet on the outcome you can then watch the coverage when out and about at no extra cost, providing you have a reliable wifi connection.
Picking through the history books and we see Morny Wing is the most successful horse ever to have run in this race, winning the title no less than six times between 1921 and 1946. Impressive, but not nearly as eye-catching as Aidan O’Brien’s dozen titles that makes him the Irish Derby’s leading trainer. He bagged his first in 1997 with Desert King and the most recent came in 2017 thanks to Capri. Michael Tabor is the benchmark for owners to aim for and he has put forward a staggering 13 champs in the past. Who will come out on top this year? That remains to be seen, but it’ll be great fun finding out, that’s for sure.
