The Winners Bet Winners Newsletter - Saturday 12 March
The Cheltenham Festival
Here at Winnersbetwinners we are ready for Cheltenham and today we are going to give you a few handy hints to improve your chances of success at the greatest racing show on earth.
Your best bet of course would be to join winnersbetwinners where you will get the very best info and advice for the full four days of top quality action but here are some other clues.
1. Nothing beats festival form!
A horse may have done very little this season but the festival races are run at a unique speed so a horse that has shown it relishes this unique test can repeat it.
2. Look for good ground form!
Cheltenham's drainage is so good now it is very rarely bad ground at the festival, look for horses with good fast ground form or that are bred to go on it.
3. Beware of small field form!
Many Irish horses turn up having won several 3 or 4 runner races - beware of this because Cheltenham races are run with big fields at fast paces which may mean their form is worthless.
4. Avoid jockeys and trainers with bad records at the festival
If they have consistently failed to cut it at Championship level you will profit by guessing they are not good enough so better still lay them on the exchanges. For example, Noel Meade, the Irish trainer, has a shocking record at the festival, avoid at all costs.
5. Back big priced horses from top stables!
If it's from a yard who do well at the festival they may have laid it out, ignore its disappointing form and give it a chance - the top yards win with big prices every year.
There's five great tips but remember the biggest tip is to join the consistently best race horse selection service: winnersbetwinners.

Cheltenham Calling
Cheltenham begins a week today and here at Winnersbetwinners we are hard at work bringing you the very best racing selections throughout four days of punting heaven.
Many thought the decision to go to four days would dilute the excitement but that has not been the case and this year the sense of anticipation is palpable.
The Irish challenge led by the incomparable Willie Mullins will be confident of a big week but the home side led by Nicholls and Henderson will hope to keep them at bay.
Every day we will be building up to what's sure to be a big week for this racing service.

"I don't bet in Hunter chases - they're for mugs"
How many times have we heard this cry from the resident betting shop or betfair forum self-proclaimed "expert"?
I stopped counting at a thousand so cannot give you an exact figure but I will briefly explain why you should ignore such sages and look very closely at this type of race.
If I told you that you could bet on a type of racing where very few runners have a genuine chance of winning and the prices can be extremely generous and winners are essentially unpenalised yet continue to start odds against would you like to know more?
The type of races I am describing are hunter chasers who, by definition, are horses who belong to a hunt (you don't have to be pro hunting to bank the winnings - trust me!) and are ex-chasers or point-to-point horses.
Many say they don't bet in them because of the amateur jockeys but I would point out that there are very few fallers in this sphere and that you can quickly work out the bad jocks and avoid them which of course you should do in all racing!
Formlines are available and the Racing Post carries plenty of info which you can use to your advantage.
But the great thing is the vast majority of the field can be discounted as they are essentially fun horses out to give their owners and riders a day out.
Concentrate at the front end of the betting and with trainers, many of whom have horses under rules like Twiston Davies who have regularly been successful in this sphere.
Remember that these races are run at a slower pace, usually so the horse will stay further than you might have thought and it means they are perfect for front runners (out of the way of the poorer runners).
So when you see the others slope off to wait for the next low grade handicap wait a while and give these races your full attention that's what we do here at WinnersBetWinners and let the "Mugs" miss out!
