Little Sidekick was at Epsom Racecourse on Bank Holiday Monday -billed as ‘Family Fun Day’ it certainly was !! Starting with the hugely entertaining Shetland Pony Derby and interspersed with children’s foot races between the horse racing-Richard Hoyles added to the enjoyment by giving live commentaries on all of the fun races plus lots of family activities and a good crowd to boot. A very good atmosphere helped by the sunny weather. Full marks Epsom !!
‘Chief Barker’ 2.45 Newmarket has already boosted Little Sidekicks coffers once this season and is taken to give a repeat performance in this 2-year old raced packed with previous winners.
‘Clumber Street’ 14.20 Bath is as yet un-raced but from stable that can ready a newcomer. With only one horse in the field that has raced before-this well related colt can take advantage of this good opportunity to open his account.
Premier League Betting Tips time again as resident tipsters Betmeister (BM) and Little Sidekick (LS) continue to go head to head with football predictions throughout the 2013-14 top-flight football season.
The opening round of fixtures did not spring so many shocks as Little Sidekick tipped – Could week 2 be different? Betmeister picked up 9 points in week 1, aided by a perfect prediction of Man City’s 4-0 victory. Little Sidekick picked up just the 2 points but as it is often said, the season is a marathon – not a sprint. Although, LS really should have more faith in his beloved Fulham!

‘Sarangoo’ (Nap) 8.00 Windsor -This mare is in the form of her life and with champion jockey elect Hughsie on board, may still have a little more to offer despite top weight.
‘Marciano’ – 16.30 Newmarket landed a competitive handicap in France prior to changing stables. Strictly an E/W bet today the selection should have enough class to be in the first three at what should be a punchy price !!
Premier League Betting Tips are back and this season resident tipsters Betmeister (BM) and Little Sidekick (LS) are going head to head with football predictions. The opening round of fixtures often springs a surprise and in his tips Little Sidekick reckons Swansea will match 2012-13 champions Manchester United, visitors Cardiff City will roll West Ham and Crystal Palace will start by beating Tottenham. Betmeister thinks otherwise with his predictions and is expecting more goals to flow, particularly from Manchester City and Chelsea.

‘Missed Call’ (Nap) 3.00 Nottingham should have just enough improvement to take this interesting fillies handicap. The booking of Barzalona seems significant and a positive ride can be expected. Don’t miss this call !!
‘Willow Beck’ (Nap) 14.40 Newmarket has the profile to land this tricky handicap with the Buick/Gosden combination taken to land another winner at Headquarters.
A lot has been written recently about the dividends paid out on the tote, highlighted in particular by a few incidents of freak payouts( one to the benefit) but mostly to the detriment of the betting public. Little Sidekick has over 40 years of punting experience and can remember the days when the tote was one of only two ways to bet at the greyhound track or the racecourse. The advent of exchange betting has taken a tremendous amount of revenue from the pockets of the traditional bookmakers. They in turn have looked at ways of maximising revenue by enhancing their internet gambling facilities to sophisticated levels. All of which was bad news for a tote that has had little option but to increase its pool take out to try and bolster its own revenue. The subsequent purchase of the Tote by an independent bookmaker, despite encouraging noises, did little to improve the tote’s and more importantly the punters returns when a further increase in the tote take-out was immediately announced . Now it is clear that the punter has a choice at the racecourse, and it is also true that the rails bookmaker cannot offer the variety of bets that the tote can. These are particularly appealing to the smaller or infrequent racecourse visitor. What is annoying in the extreme, (and I have yet to hear a valid excuse that the practice is not a deliberate one) is the difference in the show of potential returns available on tote screens literally seconds before the off, and the actual payout. Little Sidekick has been the victim of this phenomenon too many times to mention-(once cheering home a 16-1 winner at Towcester only to receive a meagre 8-1 on his Tote ticket) .Recent letters in the Racing Post have echoed this sentiment. The point is that these shows attract a punter to bet on the Tote-if he can get a few points extra then the Tote will have his money rather than the rail bookmakers-common sense.
It is of course naive to expect the dividend finally declared by the Tote matches that advertised on their screens before the off, but surely it has to be close to it and at least reflect the SP ?
Several times bitten, once shy-
Many punters as well as Little Sidekick himself now avoid the Tote as we just cannot trust it to give us value. Until this issue is addressed -in whatever way they see fit- the Tote will continue to lose punters and attract further criticism.
.
‘Truth or Dare’ in the 14.50 Salisbury is today’s nap-in what is another tricky 2 year old race it pays to stick with the tried and trusted Hughes/Hannon combination-while there are obvious dangers in the race the overall profile of our selection is one of an improving horse and that’s the truth !!
‘Brave Boy’ 17.35 Nottingham rates the Nap today. In a tricky 2 year old race with a couple of potential improvers opposing , the Godolphin colt is given the vote to put his head in front.
After Saturday’s exciting and high class action, more modest fair today but a good thing nevertheless in the 17.00 Ayr Kashmir Peak (Nap) -won’t go off at big odds but a cracking first run of the season only needs to be repeated for the summit to be conquered !
After yesterday’s huge disappointment with Bostonian giving the race away, (having run away from the odds-on favourite -he drifted badly across the course in the last furlong and was caught on the line)-
‘Jubilant Queen’ 15.10 Windsor NAP- should make no such mistakes-in a rich vein of form and with the benefit of Richard Hughes on board she should be too strong for her opposition.
Come on Queenie !!!!!
With Ascot hosting the brilliant but unpredictable Shergar Cup meeting today, our focus has to be on Newmarket for sensible investments. The format of the Shergar cup makes for a great day out with a host of top international jockeys on show but a combination of never having ridden their mounts previously and for some, never having ridden in the UK, can make the form book an irrelevance.
The Hannon and Hughes combination is always to be respected when sending out improving 2 year olds and in ‘Baby Bush’ 15.35 Newmarket they might just have another. The race includes some other sharp prospects and ‘Baby Bush’ may well start at attractive odds-5pts E/W
‘Bostonian’ looks a good thing in the 16.45 also at Newmarket and although not expected to be as generously priced as our previous selection, could provide a valuable banker for multiple bets. -5pts Win
Double them up in a 1pt E/W double.
Little Sidekick
13.50 Newmarket and the Johannesburg gelding Sam Sharp looks to have a good chance at the weights. In a vein of form at present and relatively fresh compared to some of the opposition, 5-1 is currently available with most bookmakers.
The thrilling Ashes battle of 2013 continues as England recovered well from a nightmare start at the home of cricket today. The man in form, Ian Bell, scored 109 on day one of the second Ashes Test, then Steve Smith reduced England to 289/7 at stumps with three late wickets which tipped the scales again.
For the Second Test, my tip for this Test is an Aussie win, which you can currently get in-play (decimal) odds with Paddy Power and BetVictor of 2.1. bet365 have an Australia Second Test Ashes win currently at 2.05 and you can get 2 at Skybet and Betfred.
The current in play score is England 287/7 (88.1 overs).
Australia are at 7 to be the series winner and you’d have to say after the first test that this is not an impossible feat. A drawn series is at 13/2 which is also worth considering. Other betting markets include the final Ashes result (fractional odds):
England 5:0 (9)
England 3:2 (16)
Australia 3:2 (28)
Australia 4:1 (50)
Little Sidekick likes the chances of La Fortunata in the 19.25 at Newmarket on Friday the 19th.
The small but game mare was just caught in the last stride carrying a huge weight at Epsom recently-7lb claimer has been booked to ride at Newmarket and although wrong at the weights she goes to the race in great heart and I expect her to blast from the stalls and make all.
She stays 6f so the stiff uphill finish on the 5f July course will suit her. She should be 4-1 or thereabouts and a small insurance bet would be a straight forecast with her second to the field.
The Ascot Gold Cup, the big one of Royal Ascot and the best known Group 1 race with £350,000 prize money is upon us again. Ascot Gold Cup Odds 2013 are presented below.

The Gold Cup really is the major race of the entire five day Royal Ascot in a lot of people’s eyes and always attracts the most bets. With the Gold Cup being one of the longest races of the Flat season, it’s always a great spectacle and a real test of staying power. Super horse Yeats won the race an amazing four times in succession from 2006 through 2009.
Will another long term champion emerge? The Gold Cup (the race does not officially include the word “Ascot”) is now the first leg of the Stayers’ Triple Crown, which is followed by the Goodwood and Doncaster Cups. Above are last year’s results, all of which as you can see came in with very decent odds returns. The Ascot Gold Cup Odds 2013 horses above could also surprise.

The second Group 1 feature race of Royal Ascot is part of an exciting first day and here we present our free King’s Stand Stakes Tips 2013. The race is for three-year-olds and over, is run over a distance of five furlongs. Race date and time: Tuesday, June 18th at 15:05.
Shea Shea and Shamexpress have well-deserved short priced odds for this one, and Reckless Abandon should get a placing at least. We reckon Sole Power, Shea Shea and Shamexpress will all give way to these three in a tight contest, which would make for good returns. Our dependable bet predictions for King’s Stand Stakes Tips 2013 are:
| 1- Kingsgate Native | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
| 2- Swiss Spirit | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 3- Reckless Abandon | Best odds at: | William Hill |
These three are not out of the running by any stretch of the imagination. You could justifiably add Spirit Quartz and 2011 winner Prohibit to this group, but we favour this trio of horses who could easily upset the odds for the 2013 King’s Stand Stakes. Worth a few quid on for a place at least, particularly Medicean Man at big odds:
| 1- Pearl Secret | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Mince | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
| 3- Medicean Man | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
We think that the likes of Taajub, Stepper Point and Doc Hay are a step too far from having a real shot at the King’s Stand Stakes this year, but these three definitely have some realistic chance of springing a shock, and good to have a bet on if you like to have a wildcard in the pack. You will get great odds on any of these – for good reason – but stranger things have happened.
| 1- Ballesteros | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 2- Move In Time | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- York Glory | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
Held on the opening day of Royal Ascot, the King’s Stand Stakes is a Group One race which dates back to 1860, although the current name didn’t appear until 1901 when King Edward VII ascended the throne. In 2005, the King’s Stand Stakes became part of the international race series, the Global Sprint Challenge. It is now the fourth leg of the series, and is followed by the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.
Lester Piggott is the leading jockey for the King’s Stand Stakes with seven wins stretching from 1957 (Right Boy) to 1985 (Never So Bold).
Older horses have done well in this race in recent years, with the only three-year-olds to win since 2000 being Equiano in 2008 and Dominica in 2002. In 2012, Little Bridge grabbed glory with jockey Zac Purton. In 2011, 2013 runner Prohibit took the race. Prohibit features in the King’s Stand Stakes Tips 2013 review above but at the age of 8 it is hard to see the Gelding winning again.
South African runner Shea Shea is leading the southern hemisphere challenge for the title this year, alongside Australia’s Shamexpress.
This King’s Stand Stakes Tips 2013 as part of the Royal Ascot Betting Odds review concludes here. All the very best of luck with your Tuesday race selections.
The final Group 1 Flat race of Royal Ascot is set to complete this great meeting and here are our Diamond Jubilee Stakes Tips 2013. The race is for thoroughbred three-year-olds and over, is run over a distance of six furlongs and has huge prize money of £450,000. Race date and time: Saturday, June 22nd at 15:45.
Gordon Lord Byron and Society Rock have well-deserved short priced odds for this one, and Lethal Force has enough to grab a placing at least. We reckon Sea Siren, Mince and Hawkeyethenoo will all give way to these three in a tight contest. Our first finishing trio predictions for Diamond Jubilee Stakes Tips 2013 are:
| 1- Gordon Lord Byron | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Society Rock | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- Lethal Force | Best odds at: | William Hill |
These three horses are less fancied but are definitely not out of the running by any means. You could expand this list to include Slade Power and Mince but form is with these thoroughbreds and they return bigger winnings by far:
| 1- Dandy Boy | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Rosdhu Queen | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
| 3- Krypton Factor | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
Probably best not to back too many like these and we have stopped short of horses like Gammarth and Intense Pink who are tipped to finish at the back of the pack. However, for risk-takers these are at massive odds and could be worth a small bet on – Particularly Soul.
| 1- Sirius Prospect | Best odds at: | William Hill |
| 2- Zanetto | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- Havelock | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
Originally known as the All-Aged Stakes back in 1868 when it was first run, this race has been renamed several times. In 1926 it became known as the Cork and Orrey Stakes before becoming the Golden Jubilee Stakes in 2002 and since 2012 The Diamond Jubilee Stakes. It forms part of the Global Sprint Challenge, which also includes the King’s Stand Stakes. Remind yourself of the previous year’s race to see if it might influence your thinking on our Diamond Jubilee Stakes Tips 2013:
| Horse / SP | Draw | Jockey | Trainer | |

The best known Group 1 race of Royal Ascot is upon us and here is our expert panel’s Ascot Gold Cup Tips 2013 analysis. The race is for four-year-olds and over, is run over a distance of two miles, four furlongs and has prize money of £250,000. Race date and time: Thursday, June 20th at 15:45.
These horses are at short priced odds but for good reason; They are almost certain to feature at the finish line. Rite of Passage is highly fancied but these horses are likely going to be right in the mix at the finish. Over this distance anything can happen and a winner should come from one of these and a place is surely a good bet:
| 1- Simenon | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Estimate | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- Saddler’s Rock | Best odds at: | William Hill |
Bigger odds can be had with a little more of a risky bet and any of these have a great shot at grabbing a place or a surprise win. They would also bring in a healthy return for those willing to put their money on them and in a big field such as this you could include the likes of Top Trip and Number Theory in with these selections but here are the stand-outs:
| 1- Earl of Tinsdal | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- El Salvador | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
| 3- Last Train | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
Very big odds can be had on any of the following horses that could become the surprise package of the 2013 Ascot Gold Cup if they managed to grab a placing. Winning might be considered a complete shock for some of these horses judging by the odds but these few could just manage something special on Thursday at 3:45:
| 1- Aaim To Prosper | Best odds at: | William Hill |
| 2- Repeater | Best odds at: | BetFred |

This really is the biggest race of the entire five day meeting in a lot of people’s eyes and certainly attracts the most betting.

It’s the traditional first Group 1 race of Royal Ascot and here is our expert panel’s Queen Anne Stakes Tips 2013 analysis. For thoroughbreds aged four and over, the horse race is run over a mile and comes with prize money of £250,000. Race date and time: Tuesday, June 18th at 14:30.
These horses are some of the favourites and are almost certain to feature at the finish. Animal Kingdom is in great form and the Dubai World Cup hero is every bookies’ favourite. Aljamaaheer is better odds for your money than Elusive Kate but a winning combination could well look like this:
| 1- Animal Kingdom | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Elusive Kate | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- Declaration of War | Best odds at: | Skybet |
A maximum of 14 horses will be running against Animal Kingdom in the Queen Anne Stakes 2013 Looking at the horses who could easily do well despite their odds, bets on any one of the following would give a pretty decent return in this year’s event:
| 1- Trade Storm | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
| 2- Sovereign Debt | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
| 3- Gregorian | Best odds at: | BetVictor |
Everyone loves it when a few quid on an outsider pays off and great odds can be had on any of the following that could well surprise with a place. While Windsor Palace has such big odds, it’s unlikely to feature, these horses have got enough to spring a Queen Anne Stakes shock:
| 1- Gabrial | Best odds at: | William Hill |
| 2- Penitent | Best odds at: | BetFred |
| 3- Chil the Kite | Best odds at: | Bet365 |
Frankie Dettori has ridden a lot of winners in this race during his career (six times in all), a fact well worth bearing this in mind for Tuesday’s race this year should he be taking part. He could do with some good publicity given his recent drugs ban and this would be just the way to bounce back. Everyone likes a good news story.

The lead up to Royal Ascot 2013
On the eighteenth of June 2013, the most popular and prestigious flat-horse racing event in the United Kingdom gets underway yet again, and the excitement is building fast. This event is in its 302nd year now after being initiated by Queen Anne, and features prominently on every dedicated racing enthusiast’s racing and social calendar.
The week’s card is inclusive of at least one feature race on each day. Day 1 sees three prestigious Group 1 races alone – it gets off to a cracker. The highlight of the week is almost certainly the Gold Cup, run on the Thursday. It’s the longest Group 1 race in Britain and is contested by the very best in the business, previously won by Frankie Dettori on Colour Vision.
The nations’ greatest flat-racing horses and jockeys will be there in force, alongside an array of international superstars. The setting is the immaculate green grass of Ascot, with The Queen watching, with a standard of the absolute highest quality on show. It truly is a magnificent spectacle.
The meeting’s prize money justifies this, with over £5 million up for the taking by the contestants. Saturday draws to a close with the Diamond Jubilee Stakes and this will also be fiercely-contested as it’s the event’s most valuable race; with £500,000 in prize winnings.
