Chelmsford, Fakenham, Kempton, and Nottingham horse events on October 26 are expected to be hugely popular amongst horse racing betting enthusiasts.

Horse racing season is entering into its peak stage even as 2016 is approaching its climax. Horse racing today will see racecourses like Chelmsford, Fakenham, Kempton, and Nottingham. These are extremely popular courses with a huge fan base.

Chelmsford

Chelmsford City may be only a recent entrant into the world of horseracing having been hosting events since 2015, but the all-weather track is a popular destination especially among Newmarket trainers. Some of the best events – according to horse racing betting tips – on October 26 are the Totepoolliveinfo.com For Racing Results Handicap and Collect Any Totepool Winnings At Betfred Shops Handicap. Raising Sand and Ocean Eleven are favourites for the former while Doctor Sardonicus and Harwoods Volante are favourites on the latter.

Going is standard. No draw advantage.

VERDICT - 15:00 - BEARDWOOD saw much improvement lately and won at Windsor on October 10. Was 6th out of 20 runners at Doncaster on October 22 and we believe it will race and win. Other notable contenders include Haalan and Abareeq, but with a poor recent form.

Fakenham

Fakenham has been hosting National Hunt events since 1905 and one of the highlights of this track is the Fakenham Silver Cup. The course is especially popular amongst the Welsh royal family, which also extends to the horse racing betting scenario. On October 26, the Fakenham Handicap Chase at 15:40 will be one of the top events. Salto Chisco is a favourite for the event amongst bookmakers. Other events like the Injured Jockeys Fund Handicap Hurdle will also be popular with plenty of horse racing tips.

Going is good-good to soft in places.

VERDICT - ARMAANS WISH is a great horse with notable results this year. He won at Ludlow back in May and was runner-up two times since then. It comes back after almost four months, but N J Henderson (trainer) usually does incredible and we expect much.

Kempton

Kempton has always provided excellent horse racing options throughout the season. The presence of the racecourse very close to London makes it ideal for supporters to visit on a regular basis. It also leads to a lot of popularity amongst those who bet online. With the track rated as standard to slow on October 26, some of the events to watch out are 100% Profit Boost At 32redsport.com Handicap at 18:15. Estrella Eria and Maria's Choice are the popular horses for this event.

Going is standard to slow. No draw advantage.

VERDICT - 18:15 - MARIA'S CHOICE was runner-up at Brighton on October 4 and won at the same racecourse back in August. This Class 6 race also sees Overlord, but his poor performance at Wolverhampton will not help him much.

Nottingham

Easily one of the oldest racecourses in the world, Nottingham has been hosting events since 1773. The Listed Further Flight Stakes is one of the top events at Nottingham and it takes place in April. Racing action on October 26 – when the track is expected to be good to soft – will feature the Roa/racing Post Owners Jackpot Handicap. The best odds are likely to back Al Destoor for a win.

Going is good-good to soft in places. In 5 furlongs and 5 furlongs when stalls are far side - low numbers are best; stands side - high numbers are best.

VERDICT - 17:20 - BLUE TOP is the son of Millkom and Pompey Blue, two great runners from the UK. Trainer Burchell usually does well, and the past two consecutive victories of Blue Top don't say otherwise. This runner took a break since July, but he's got the speed and the stamina.
