EL VIP (IRE) 4yo bay colt Breeding: Pivotal (UK) – Elle Danzig (GER) Trainer: Luca Cumani Owner: Al Shaqab Racing Rated 94 means we are going to get a right touch on this horse in a handicap. He is […]

Racing: Johnb’s Lincoln Heritage Handicap Preview

Posted on: 28 Mar 2017

THE Lincoln takes place on Saturday at Doncaster and is run over a straight mile. With better horses running every year now it’s one of the most competitive handicaps you can get as the weights from top to bottom are so close. The last six winners’ odds have been 12-1, 12-1, 20-1, 20-1, 25-1 and 16-1, also showing just how […]

Racing: Johnb’s 10 to Follow (3yos)

Posted on: 27 Mar 2017

OBVIOUSLY my main 3-year-old this year is Churchill but there is no point putting up a horse the whole world knows about. Horses like him are advised as 2-year-olds when odds for big races are good, if there are any mistakes below just let me know as I have been busy while doing this. Tartini (USA) 3yo chestnut colt Breeding: Giant’s […]

Racing: Johnb’s 2000 Guineas Betting Preview

Posted on: 26 Mar 2017

THERE are five British classics in the flat season and in the three previous years I have been on this thread I have advised six selections that have returned three winners at 33-1, 33-1 and 25-1. I also had a third place at 25-1 so I think it’s easy to say the British classics have been pretty good to us. […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Day 4 Tips

Posted on: 16 Mar 2017

IT was one winner for Johnb on day three which belonged to Ruby Walsh and Willie Mullins who completed a four-timer. Our man says: From the 21 races already run at Cheltenham only 11 horses have run that I selected with 4 winners: Un De Sceaux 7-2, Let’s Dance 5-2, Yorkhill 13-8, Might Bite 3-1. So they are doing better than […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Day 3 Tips

Posted on: 15 Mar 2017

IT was one winner for Johnb on what was a tough day 2 for punters. With even Douvan losing bookies will be looking to give back some today (hopefully). Johnb’s Day 3 Tips 1.30 Yorkhill 5-4 2.10 Tobefair 17-2 2.50 Uxizandre 7-2 & Alary 28-1 3.30 Cole Harden 13-2 4:10 Diamond King 9-2 4.50 Airlie Beach 4-1 5.30 Hadrians Approach […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Day 2 Tips

Posted on: 14 Mar 2017

LABAIK was the highlight of day one for Johnb – a horse he said he wanted to buy and “sort out” after it let him down in the stalls a couple of times this year. He suggested a couple of weeks it was a good bet at 50-1 and came close to tipping it yesterday. Enough people knew about his […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Day 1 Tips

Posted on: 14 Mar 2017

AFTER my preview four weeks ago only two horses I selected as early choices are running. Limini, who was selected at 4-1, and Beware The Bear who was advised at 14-1. Also meant to mention I was seriously thinking Labaik in the 1:30 and Moon Racer in the 3:30 were very close to being selected. Johnb’s Cheltenham Tips 1:30 Elgin 28/1 e/w […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Ante-Post Preview – Day 4

Posted on: 08 Mar 2017

RACE one on day four is the Triumph Hurdle, run over two miles one furlong and is for four-year-olds only. The last ten winners of this race had their last run in January or February. Triumph Hurdle Charli Parcs – Nicky Henderson 17-2 10bet After more time to study this race I am pretty confident this will be one of […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s JLT Novices Chase Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 01 Mar 2017

RACE one on day three is the JLT Novices Chase. It is 2m 3f 198 yards, has only had 6 runnings and was introduced to give novice chasers an extra option as a distance in between the Arkle and RSA. JLT Novices Chase Winners aged 6 or 7 have won 6/6 Winners ran between 32 and 53 days before this […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Coral Cup Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 22 Feb 2017

RACE three of Day two is the Coral Cup, it’s 2m 4f and is run at a fast pace. There are plenty of big-price winners in this race which shows just how competitive it is. Coral Cup Agrapart – Nick Williams 25-1 10bet I would have thought he was more likely to run in the Stayers Hurdle. Long House Hall – […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Neptune Novices’ Hurdle Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 13 Feb 2017

RACE one of Day two is the Neptune Novices Hurdle, run over 2m 54, and last year saw one of my bets of the festival win this race which was Yorkhill. Neptune Novices Hurdle Neon Wolf – Harry Fry 9-4 10bet I have already given a write-up on this horse under the Supreme Novices Hurdle preview. But as I said this […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s National Hunt Chase Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 12 Feb 2017

RACE six on day one is the National Hunt Chase, the longest race of the four days of the Festival. It’s run over four miles and open only to amateur riders, the most progressive staying novice chasers line up to give an amateur rider a share of the limelight on day one of the Festival. Willie Mullins has won this […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Foxhunters Chase Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 08 Feb 2017

RACE five on day four is the Foxhunters Chase and there’s no Victoria Pendleton this year as she is still on crutches. Foxhunters Chase On The Fringe – Enda Bolger 11-8 10bet 2015 & 2016 winner and gambled on both times. On my trip to Ireland to the Auctions I got to speak to a lot of people in racing from […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Gold Cup Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 08 Feb 2017

RACE four on day four is the meeting’s big one – the Cheltenham Gold Cup. No Thistlecrack for our 20-1 antepost bet but he has already rewarded us twice at the same odds. Gold Cup Bristol De Mai – Nigel Twiston-Davies 20-1 10bet One of my antepost selections at 50-1 and I still like him. In my opinion people are […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 08 Feb 2017

RACE three on day four is the Albert Bartlett Novices Hurdle, run over three miles. Novices Hurdle Death Duty – Gordon Elliott 9-4 10bet Four from four this season and while he hasn’t run over two miles four furlongs he does look a guaranteed stayer for three miles. Watching this horse run screams he wants further and is a worthy favourite. […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s County Hurdle Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 08 Feb 2017

RACE two on day four is the County Hurdle which is always a difficult one to work out as it’s a big field handicap and you probably want a lightly raced horse. County Hurdle North Hill Harvey – Dan Skelton 7-1 10bet Good form but I would worry about the lack of a run. His win at Cheltenham in November […]

Cheltenham Festival: Johnb’s Triumph Hurdle Ante-Post Preview

Posted on: 08 Feb 2017

RACE one on day four is the Triumph Hurdle, run over two miles one furlong and is for four-year-olds only. The last ten winners of this race had their last run in January or February.
