Andy Newton’s LAY OF THE DAY: 6:00 Newcastle – MACHO MANIA

MACHO MANIA was a nose runner-up at Lingfield just four days ago and off the same mark here will be all the rage to go one better at Newcastle.

However, in this poor Classified Stakes the race is littered with average performers and despite hitting the crossbar the last day this Phil McEntee-trained 4 year-old is also one of those.

He’s still winless from 16 career runs and with twelve of those coming on the AW surfaces, he’s still to break his duck on the sand. One of those AW runs came at Newcastle (2nd) back in December 2022. However, that’s the only time he’s raced at the track which is the first negative.

The other concern is that connections are now reaching for the first-time cheekpieces and even though they may help, he still took a keen hold the last day and that effectively cost him the race. Getting collared late on.

Yes, jockey Tyler Heard helps by taking off 3lbs from the saddle too, but this 45-rated runner still has three horses in the race rated higher and we’ll have another three running four us off the same rating as Macho Mania.

We’ll also have three proven CD winners on our side in Blackcurrent, Merry Secret and Billy Wedge.

Therefore, in a very poor race, there looks to be enough take this 4 year-old on with as he still searches for his first career success.

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).
