Ayr, Leicester, and Redcar will be focused heavily by horse racing betting tips for the events of October 24.

Horse racing continues to be a popular sport in the UK even though the likes of football and rugby attract a lot of fans. One of the primary reason continues to be the large availability of races and numerous betting options. Horse racing today sees the involvement of racecourses like Ayr, Leicester, and Redcar.

Ayr

The Ayr Gold Cup and the Scottish Grand National maybe the two most popular events at the Ayr course, but the track hosts races throughout the year. The former is especially regarded as one of the greatest and historic events in European horseracing calendar. Coastal Bluff and Lochsong are some of the iconic thoroughbreds to have won the event. On October 24, horse racing betting action will predominantly focus on Racing UK HD Chase and Racinguk.com Handicap Chase.

In the case of the latter, it would be difficult to separate clear favourites since all runners have had bouts of poor form in recent times. In case of the former event, Amilliontimes will be the overwhelming favourite according to horse racing tips after four consecutive wins.

Going is good to soft.

VERDICT - 16:10 - VIRNON is coming back after a half-year absence and is ready for a great race. The five-year-old will face Newton Lad, another runner that deserves respect.

Leicester

A dual purpose racecourse, Leicester is involved with horse racing events throughout the year. The King Richard III Stakes is the most iconic flat event at this course. Sir Gordon Richards Handicap will be the standout event on October 24. The best odds are likely to focus on Higher Power and Cape Cova being successful in the event.

For today, the straight track is rated as good whereas the round track is rated between good to soft. Some of the other notable events today will include the likes of Sis Handicap and British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes. There would be several bet online offers for these two events.

Going is good to soft (round) and good-good to soft in places (straight).

VERDICT - 14:40 - REBEL LIGHTNING won at Leicester on October 11 and improve his form consistently. We expect another win here.

Redcar

Redcar racecourse is primarily involved during the summer, and early October usually sees the occurrence of the listed events. Only for the three-year-old thoroughbreds, the Market Cross Jewellers Handicap event at 16:30 will be one to watch out. Horse racing betting tips predict a tough competition between Dusky Raider and Prospectus for the victory.

Going is good to soft-soft in places. Middle to high numbers have advantage on the straight course.

VERDICT - 17:30 - TRICKY DICKY was runner up at Epsom Downs on August 29 and 4th out of 16 runners at Thirsk on September 13. PIAZON deserves some respect.
