Racing Tips

PLEASE NOTE THAT GLAMOUR TIPS IS ON HOLIDAYS UNTIL 7 AUGUST 2021

Land of Hope and Glory

Despite a daily increase of around 9,000 corona virus cases a day, it’s full steam ahead with Royal Ascot with 12,000 lucky punters on each day  being able to attend the Berkshire bubble this week.

It is an amazing event with colossal amounts of Bolly, eye wateringly expensive dresses and an air or ambience of hedonism that has prevailed over world wars pandemics and economic hardship generally. The communal singing at the end of each day’s racing is a wonderful feature which our administrators would do well to look at here.

Toby is having a short break to spend his Nettoyer money. He’ll probably stay local with a possible stay at a resort somewhere   on 90 mile beach Gippsland offering the chance to recharge his batteries in time for a return on the Horse’s birthday, August 1.

Sandown in the Winter

COVID restrictions aside, it’s hard to imagine a more desolate place then Sandown in the middle of winter. This venue attracted over 50,000 people when it opened in 1965, an era that bought the Vietnam war, man’s landing on the moon, The Beatle’s and Jean Shrimpton.

The crowds have got a lot smaller since then and nothing much has changed at Sandown except for the value of the real estate that it sits on.

This year sixties buffs will be able to enjoy their Nescafe and Chiko Roll in the warmth and comfort of their own homes and hopefully cheer home a winner both at Sandown and at Eagle Farm’s premier meeting.

If all these horses get over the line on Saturday and you have taken a Yankee or Parlay 23 &4 bet costing 5.50 for half a unit, get in the queue for a massive dividend of $166,891 which should be able to pay for heaps of plastic surgery.

The win by two local trainers (excluding Chris Waller’s although he does have stables in Brisbane) of two of the Group races at Eagle Farm shows how much horse’s love racing at their home tracks.

There were some pretty big names who failed on Saturday including Ayrton Gytrash Trekking (whose best days may be behind him). It is hard work to transport a horse and settle it into a new environment. Hong Kong for example has been a grave- yard {metaphorically speaking} for many Australian champions just as Perth tends to be for horses from the Eastern States.

There are of course exceptions, but they tend to be champions. Horses like Better Loosen up Choisir  and Takeover Target. (pictured in Hong Kong where things didn’t work out that well)  These horses come along once in a generation. Even Black Caviar although she won struggled to show her best at Royal Ascot and there is a reason that Chris Waller did n’t take Winx abroad.

As a punter you’ll do better if you stick to the locals.
