  • How Horse Racing and Betting Became So Deeply Linked.Pdf
    How Horse Racing and Betting Became So Deeply Linked Horse racing is one of the most popular sports in the UK, with ITV’s coverage of the 2019 Grand National drawing in 9.6m viewers. This was a 12% increase from 2018, and an estimated 600m people tuned in across the globe. It also remains the most bet-upon sport in the UK. Aside from viewing figures, the 2018 Grand National saw £250m being bet on the race. But it's not just for dedicated equestrians either. You can easily find guides to horse racing betting for beginner's on https://www.onlinesportsbettingsites.co.uk/, for instance. So how did horse racing and betting become almost synonymous? When did horse racing start? Horse racing goes back much further than you would think. During the Roman era people take part in horse-pulled chariot races. These races even formed part of the Greek Olympic Games. There’s some evidence to suggest that horse racing could go back even further in Asian countries. In terms of UK horse racing, the sport became known in the 12th century. The oldest horse race still going today is the Kiplingcotes Derby. This race goes back to 1519 and took place in East Riding, Yorkshire. Horse racing caught England’s attention during the reign of Charles II, and the king held races from 1660. Newmarket was the first location officially used for such races, during which two horses would compete on private courses or open fields. This race became the Newmarket Town Plate horse race and Charles II remains the only king to have ever won a horse race – back in 1671.

  • The Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale Will Take Place This
    The Tattersalls Cheltenham December Sale will take place this year alongside racing on the Friday of the Cheltenham International Meeting and incorporates the NH Breeze Up. The sale will take place an hour after racing in the Tattersalls Sales arena. Catering is available on site in the Tattersalls marquee and hospitality is available to clients in the Tattersalls Sales arena. The Breeze Up will be restricted approximately 30 horses with the breeze itself taking place before racing on the morning of the December Sale. The breeze up will be recorded and available online to view and clients will be able to attend and view the breeze live prior to racing. The highest price paid for a breeze up horse in 2017 was £115,000 when Neil Mulholland signed for a Germany filly from the family of Supreme Prince & Supreme Serenade consigned by Meadowview Stables. Tiger Roll winner of the 2018 Grand National for Gordon Elliott and Gigginstown House Stud is a graduate of the December Sale having been sold for £80,000 by Nigel Hawke at the 2013 renewal to the owners Gigginstown.

All rights reserved . 1 | P a g e 2016 Grand National Tips Spring got off to a great start with an early Easter and brighter evenings and it also means it’s time for QED’s Grand National tips! For those of you in a hurry, my tips are at the end of this article. Disclaimer - I have not enjoyed great Grand National success over the years, but that won't stop me from sharing my tips and tactics with you. But, before we get into the euphoria of all that, you would be disappointed if I did not throw in a few ‘risk warnings’: Risk warnings Tipping horses is not an activity regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Betting on a horse is a gamble not an investment. A bit like high tech stocks on P/E ratios of 200 plus in 2000. I have no qualifications or expertise in horse racing and my past performance is no indication of future performance (which is a good thing?). What goes up might come down and not get up again. Especially over Becher’s Brook. Only bet for fun and with an amount you would be happy to lose. If you want decent long term returns send your money to QED not Ladbrokes. Your relationship might be at risk if you don’t place your partner’s (or boss’!) winning bet. A word on Efficient Markets … In an efficient market the price contains all the known information. If new information arrives it can change the price.

  • Horse Racing Awareness Week 2012 S C I P M E Instead of Betting © on the Cruel Grand National
    Horse Racing Awareness Week 2012 S C I P M E Instead of betting © on the cruel Grand National... ... why not help us to fund care and shelter for rescued horses? Tyneandthyneagain running loose moments before his death in the Grand National Rescued horses and p www.stopkillinghorses.com onies enjoying life at Hope Pastures Jason Maguire, whip in hand, after thrashing Ballabriggs to the finishing line in the 2011 Grand National Same old story There was, however, nothing unique about the 2011 race. Since 2000, 20 horses have died on the Grand National course, with others badly injured. The basic problem is that the course is too long and too gruelling. Thirty punishing fences have to be jumped over an extreme distance of four and a half miles, making it the longest race in world Thoroughbred National Hunt racing. Despite modifications to the course, more horses have been killed in the past decade than ever before. The usual excuse! Defenders of the Grand National – and racing in general – often argue that ‘if the horses didn’t like it, they wouldn’t carry on running after their jockeys fall off’. Yet horses sometimes try to continue running when they are clearly injured – even after a heavy fall and with a broken leg. They don’t do so for pleasure! Horses are herd animals. They feel safer when part of a group, especially in the noisy, often unfamiliar race-day environment. ember 2011?
