Lay Of The Day Tip: Friday 19th January 2024

The UK horse racing cards on Friday come from Newcastle and Wolverhampton on the AW, with Lingfield & Market Rasen off due to frozen tracks.

See below Andy Newton’s lay of the day tip – a fancied horse that he makes a case on why it might NOT win.

There are several ways to play this lay of the day tip. You can either join top betting exchange Betfair to lay horses by betting on them NOT to win (recent results below).

Andy Newton’s ‘LAY OF THE DAY’ Tip: 1:05pm Wolverhampton – KODEBREAKER

Another day of just AW action with Lingfield and Market Rasen both off with frozen tracks.

We’ve two sand venues on Friday that keep the horse racing show on the road during this cold spell – Newcastle and Wolverhampton – and it’s the last-named that I’m heading to for today’s pick.

The horse that is of interest is the Michael Herrington-trained KODEBREAKER.

This 5 year-old will be having his 44th career run, but having only won three of those is operating at just a 7% return – that’s the first negative.

Next up is the fact Kodebreaker has only won twice on the AW from 27 starts and both these successes came at Southwell. He’s raced at Wolves eight times and is yet to grab a win.

Finally, his last win also came 20 races ago, so despite this being a poor level affair – backing a horse that is yet to win at the track in eight tries and one that is also on a 19-race losing streak is hardly stuff to give you confidence.

What Is Lay Betting On Horse Racing?

In short lay betting is to bet on something NOT to happen.

With the introduction of betting exchanges like Betfair, punters can now bet on a horse or a team NOT to win by effectively becoming a bookmaker.

This can be done by staking against a horse or team on a betting exchange.

For example, if you think a horse won’t win a race and it’s 3.00 (2/1). Then you could lay this horse for £10.

If the horse loses, you will win £10 (less any set commission). Or if the horse wins you will have to pay out £20 (just like a bookmaker would).

See below another example – if you were to oppose Galopin Des Champs at 2.80 for £10.

You can see the liability if the horse wins would be £18. Or if the horse loses you will win £10 (less any commission).
