Horse Racing Betting Tips for Jan 22 Events at Fontwell and Hereford

Jonathan Nixon

Fontwell and Hereford are the racing venues involved in horse racing and betting action on January 22 in the United Kingdom.

Horse racing action in the United Kingdom on January 22 may involve only two venues – Fontwell and Hereford – but one can expect some of the finest racing action from these historic venues. It is not surprising that there will be plenty of horse racing betting related interest as well.

Fontwell Park

A constant presence in the UK horse racing calendar, Fontwell has been hosting events for several decades. One of its highlight events happens to be the Grade 2 National Spirit Handicap Hurdle, which takes place in February. The course has two different tracks for chase and jump events; the former are held on a figure of eight circuit, while the latter take place on an oval circuit.

According to horse betting, Fontwell’s highlight event on January 22 will be the Heyshott Handicap Hurdle. This Class 3 event features 18 runners on a track rated as heavy. While there was no corresponding race in 2016 to act as a guidance, horse racing tips favour Hit The Highway and Zulu Oscar for a win. Buywise may have been the original favourite, but he has been going through a difficult run as of late.

Going is heavy.

13:00 - TOBERDOWNEY won at Wincanton on December 26. Was runner up at Warwick on November 16 and fifth at Newbury on November 3. The 5-year-old brown mare goes against Al Reesha and is our main choice in this Class 4 race.

15:00 - OLD SALT is a 5-year-old bay gelding with a 5th place at Ffos Las on December 12 and with a victory at Ludlow on November 21. Went back to racing after a 205-day break - early 2016 was decent for him, but we expect much now.

Hereford

Hereford hosts seven races on January 22 with varying degrees of importance among the bet online fraternity. Attheraces.com Handicap Hurdle at 14:50 is likely to be the most popular in the betting scenario, as it is only the second Class 3 event of the day. The race features 22 runners battling out on a track which is soft to heavy. Tornado In Milan and Oscar Sunset are seen as the likely candidates for a win according to the best odds.

While this race is popular, Hereford racecourse is just about happy to be involved in the horse racing scenario once again. The venue has been hosting events and was involved in horse racing odds only since 2016 after a four-year absence. More than the events, Hereford is an extremely popular venue for trainers. Winners of the Hereford races have gone on to claim success at the Hennessy Gold Cup, and it remains a reason for numerous horse racing betting tips concerning this venue.

Going is soft-heavy in places.

13:50 - THE BLUE BOMBER was third at Ludlow on January 19. Had a 61-day break - in November he was 9th at Huntingdon, while in October he had two runner ups at Fakenham and Hereford.

14:20 - GARDINERS HILL is a 7-year-old brown gelding with a victory at Hereford on January 11. He returned to racing after a 174-day break before which he had mixed results. Was third at Uttoxeter on July 5. Overall, we see much potential here but it's still risky.
