UK Horse Racing Tips

For those betting customers that love horse racing, there is a world of opportunities when it comes to the different bet types that are available. While many punters like to bet win singles on horses to win their respective races, there are a number of other options such as each-way, forecasts and accumulators.

A horse racing accumulator generally involves picking out selections that happen to be running that day. It could be horses that are all running at the same meeting or alternatively, bookies will also allow customers to pick out horses from races across various meetings providing that they are not in the same race.

As part of our betting service, we like to provide horse racing accumulator tips to readers and that could mean a racing four-fold or five-fold where have a number of horses put into a multiple bet. The odds of each runner are multiplied together and we’re left with a racing acca where we can nominate the stake we’re betting.

How to Place a Horse Racing Acca

Once you have read up on the horse racing accumulator tips, you can then visit your bookmaker website and start picking out the selections that you fancy. There’s no limit as to how many horses that you can choose and you can either opt to go for a win accumulator or an each-way racing accumulator depending on your outlook.

A horse racing win-only accumulator naturally means that you need all your selections to win their respective races. So if you do a racing acca with four horses, they all need to win in order to land a profit. However, if you do a racing each-way accumulator, then you are essentially placing two bets.

The first of these bets is a win-only acca but you split your stake so that 50% goes on to a place accumulator and a horse needs to simply finish in the first two, three, four or five depending on the each-way terms.

There is often the opportunity to cash out your horse racing acca along the way. If your first selection is a winner, then you can often be sitting on a profit before any more legs are run, while some betting customers exercise the option to partially cash out a profit and let some of the stake remain in the bet.

Josephine Gordon, who turns 27 in May, 2020, had ridden just one winner when she became apprenticed to Stan Moore, but rode her second winner in June, 2015 and by the end of that season had increased her winning tally to 16, including 9-81 for the Lambourn trainer. Thereafter, her riding career flourished, with the 2016 season yielding 87 winners in total, including 50 between April 30 and October 15, which was sufficient to make her champion apprentice. Indeed, she became just the third female jockey to win the apprentices’ title, after Amy Ryan in 2011 and Hayley Turner in 2005.

The following season, Gordon left Stan Moore to become stable jockey to Hugo Palmer in Newmarket and, initially, the move proved very fruitful indeed. Gordon rode her first Pattern race winner, Koropick, in the Chipchase Stakes at Newcastle for her new employer on July 1, 2017 and brought up a hundred winners for the season when partnering Thunderbolt Rocks, also trained by Palmer, to victory at Wolverhampton on November 25. In so doing, she became only the second female jockey, after Hayley Turner in 2008, to ride a hundred winners in a calendar year. She was on a winning streak of the like only seen by those winning on the best casinos online. All told, Gordon racked up 106 winners, including 33 for Palmer.

It would be fair to say that Josephine Gordon has found winners much more difficult to come by since the end of the 2017 season. Notwithstanding a hand injury that put her out of action for a month, she rode just 56 winners, including 24 for Hugo Palmer, which led to her relinquishing her role as stable jockey to ride freelance in 2019. That year, Gordon rode just 38 winners and in 2020, so far, she has yet to visit the winners’ enclosure; in fact, at the time of writing, she is enduring a ‘cold’ spell lasting 76 days and 54 rides.

With much doom and gloom around and a world on pause, it’s such a relief to have horse racing back on our screens. This Saturday brings us one of the highlights of the racing calendar, the Investec Derby. The highly competitive and prestigious contest has serious prize money on offer and attracts the cream of the crop of three year olds.

Trainer Andrew Balding will be hoping that he comes out on top of the day with current second favourite Kameko, who received a boost after his recent convincing 2000 Guineas win in June. The trainer definitely has his eyes on the Derby prize.

“He talks about it more than anything else. Ever since I’ve known Andrew that’s been what he’s wanted more than anything. We’re all dreaming really. Imagine if.” said his wife Anna to Betway.

The race also features the likes of current favourite English King, as well as Russian Emperor and the Aidan O’Brien trained Mogul. In the Youtube Feature Balding talks about the possibility of winning the Derby and what it would mean to him to follow in his Father’s footsteps. Ian Balding, now 81, memorably won the 1971 Derby with Mill Reef. Can history repeat itself? Tune into ITV1 at 4.55pm on Saturday 4th July to find out.
