SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Betsafe Horse Racing Manager Michael Robinson has reacted to the sports betting subsidiary adding a horse racing product to its service by signing up for today’s Tipster Challenge at Goodwood.
Robinson has picked his seven winners at #GloriousGoodwood, which includes an extremely brave Nap of the Day in the 3:35. At the time of writing, Lancaster Bomber is priced at 28/1.
He will be going up against bettingexpert’s horse racing guru Stephen Harris, who sits second in the competition with a 9.46-point average after ten weeks of action.

bettingexpert: Sunblazer
Should relish this marathon test and will not mind any rain that falls to ease the ground.
Betsafe: Star Rider
Last year’s winner. Preferred over stablemate Aurora Gray despite a stiff mark.

2:25
bettingexpert: Secret Advisor
Remains with potential off this handicap mark and can improve past some more exposed rivals.
Betsafe: Tamleek
Impressive maiden winner. Followed up with a Chester Vase 4th place. Had Derby and Dante entries. Better trip today and could confirm potential.

bettingexpert: Invincible Army
Ran well in a Group 2 over 6f last time and should relish a drop down to the minimum trip.
Betsafe: Havana Grey
Decent pace and can improve upon two wins in listed company.

3:35
bettingexpert: Churchill (Nap of the Day)
A top-class performer who simply got a poor ride at Royal Ascot and seems sure to be ridden much more positively here.
Betsafe: Lancaster Bomber (Nap of the Day)
Ostensibly a two-horse race, but Lancaster Bomber impressed when battling Barney Roy in the St James Palace Stakes and may be some value, even with question marks over today’s ground.

bettingexpert: Lamya
Caught the eye on her debut and could well be capable of a lot better with that experience behind her.
Betsafe: Exceedingly Diva
Good display on debut at Windsor and could improve upon that today at a decent price.

bettingexpert: Skiffle
Might appreciate this drop down in class and will not mind the expected easing of the ground.
Betsafe: Skiffle
Listed race winner at this track and distance last year. Back down to 10 furlongs which looks like it suits.

bettingexpert: Sun Lover
Has a progressive profile and a brilliant draw in stall one under Atzeni.
Betsafe: The Warrior
Tends to go well over C&D. May be exposed here but a decent price.
