Grade 1 Race at Kempton Dominates Horse Racing Betting Tips on December 26

Jonathan Nixon

As a result of hosting the only Grade 1 race, Kempton will be the top horse racing betting location on December 26 even though seven other venues are also involved.

December 26 racing action in the United Kingdom is packed with many venues involved. Horse betting action will be heavily focused on the events at Kempton.

Fontwell

This West Sussex course is involved in the National Hunt races throughout the year. The pick of the action on December 26 will be the Winner Event Services Handicap Hurdle at 14:15. It is the only Class III event scheduled at the course, which is rated between good to soft.

Going is good to soft.

12:35 - RAINBOW DREAMER won at Fontwell on December 6 and his form has been improving a lot as of late. He was also third at Wetherby on October 28 and runner-up at Chepstow on October 9. Throughout 2016 he had incredible results, which makes us think he will do really well in the near future.

Huntingdon

Horse racing odds concerning Huntingdon are primarily focused on the Grade 2 Peterborough Chase, but the interest now will be upon races like the Drummond Family Novices' Handicap Chase at 14:30. Pandy Wells won this race in the 2015 edition, but Better Days and Bagging Turf are seen as favourites for the 2016 version. Since there are no clear favourites for the races, it would be difficult to judge a winner without resorting to the latest tips.

The latter is undoubtedly the biggest race at Kempton throughout the year. Thistlecrack is the pick of the horses in terms of the best odds after having won the last six races without exception. Cue Card is expected to come a close second.

For the former, competition is even more intense with 13 runners taking part. Frodon, Amore Alato, and American are seen as the potential favourites for success in this race. They have managed to win at least two of the last three races. The track being rated as good to soft will also help in racing. Going is good-good to soft in places.

13:30 - GOLD PRESENT (odds 3/1) won at Doncaster on November 26 and his main rival is Sizing Tennessee. This Class 3 race will definitely be one of a kind as Two Taffs is also going to be racing.

14:05 - ANIBALE FLY (odds 5/2) was 2nd at Fairyhouse on December 4 and is showing a great form at the moment. Won at Naan on November 13. Definitely the best choice here.
