Andy Newton’s ‘LAY OF THE DAY’ Horse Racing Tip On Friday: 8:15pm Wolverhampton – BERKSHIRE PHANTOM

This Fionn McSharry runner is flying high at the moment with two wins here at Wolverhampton, so we know the track suits.

He’s up another 6lbs from the last of those successes, while connections are also offsetting that with jockey Tommie Jakes able to claim 7lbs. Therefore, on paper everything looks in place for another big run in the three-timer bid.

However, there are still a few reasons to take BERKSHIRE PHANTOM on today.

Firstly, this 4 year-old only just scrambled home by a nose the last day in a Class 6 and is up in grade here to a C5.

Next up is the trip. His recent wins have been over 7f, but today connections up him to 1m 1/2f and this is the worry.

ALL four career wins to date (21 runs) have come over 7f.

He’s tried further four times and his form reads 12-8-11-8, which suggests he just doesn’t quite last out over the longer yardage.

Finally, add in three proven CD winners in the race – Light Up Our Stars, Fox Power and English Spirit, then we’ll also have these on our side, in what looks a race that most of the eight runners have chances.

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).
