- Pontefract, Southwell, Windsor Horse Racing tips for October, 3
Apart from Limerick, some of the best horse racing action on October 3 takes place at Pontefract, Southwell, and Windsor.
Horse racing action for the first week of October begins with the events at the likes of Pontefract, Southwell, and Windsor. Of course, this is not the only action as part of horse racing today, as Limerick is also involved too.
Pontefract
Situated in West Yorkshire, Pontefract racecourse is home to action throughout the year, but it is primarily known for the Pontefract Castle Stakes. The uphill finish at the racecourse means that preference in most of the horse racing betting tips will be given to stamina rather than speed. Tradeway Shipping Peter Kirkham Retiring Handicap is expected to be the pick of events at Pontefract racecourse on October 3. RAINBOW REBEL is expected to be the favourite for the event after having won the last four races.
Sunny weather is predicted for horse racing action today and the track is also rated as good.
Track: Left handed, with gradient and a stiff, uphill finish. Stamina counts more than speed courtesy of the final three furlongs.
Going is good to soft-good in places. Low numbers are best in sprints.
17:00 - SELECTION is very likely to come on for what could be described as a very disappointing debut given that he was sent off favourite, and KULLY was less fancied on her first race but ran very well to get within a length of victory. SHAH OF ARMAAN had a great start on his introduction, but DIVISIONIST can get off the mark.
Southwell
Southwell always seems to be part of horse racing tips given the sheer number of races taking place at this event over the course of the season. Even though Southwell hosts a lot of races, it takes a specialist to succeed at the race track since it is one of the handful of all-weather race tracks that has a fibresand surface. It makes it difficult for regulars to excel at this track. Haydays Racing Club Novices' Handicap Chase for four-year-old plus horses will be a major event.
Kinari and Robert’s star are likely to be backed in the best odds available online. Oddsdigger.com is one of those sites that provides access to such odds under one roof.
Track: The all-weather track here goes left-handed in a flat 1.25-mile oval, which has a run from the home turn of 3f and a spur to provide a straight 5f.
Going is good to soft. No draw advantage for 5f, but in 6f low numbers are favoured.
14:10 - INNOCENT GIRL makes the most appeal here making her debut for Harry Fry. She has shown a lot since her last race under Rules, performing well in point-to-points. Should see some improvement. DEISE VU and BANDOL are both closely matched on their very recent effort at Worcester and look best of the remainder.
16:10 - GAELIC MYTH looked great when scored over the extended 2m5f at Ludlow back in May and he's expected to give a good account following the 10lb rise.
Windsor
Windsor racecourse is a figure of eight circuits which takes a prominent position in the flat racing season. Since there are a couple of races above a mile and a half on October 3, these events will witness both right and left handed turns; it is an aspect that makes the course extremely difficult to predict in terms of horse racing betting. Adamson Construction Handicap will be the most awaited event with Athlon, backed at 5/1, and Niblawi, backed at 6/1, primary favourites in the Windsor racecourse bet online opportunities.
The Track is a figure of eight-shape, 12.5f in extent. Races which are around 1.5 miles long see both right and left-handed turns, yet in races below that distance, only left-handed turns are met. The track is sharp in character.
Going is good to soft. High numbers usually hold a slight advantage in sprints.
16:20 - CALIBRATION has been great in maidens lately and deserves his place at the head of the weights here, yet FAIR POWER could prove tough to stop. SYLVESTER KIRK should also do well as he is stepping up to a mile. QUOTHQUAN and MANNERS PLEASE also merit respect.
