American Horse Racing Tips for Thursday 1 December by Timeform

I can't ever remember the Cheltenham Festival Novice Chase division being this open. Usually at least one of these races would be considered as a done deal, but this definitely isn't the case in 2024. Of course, we all love when we can look forward to an absolute superstar, but there is something very exciting when festival races are this…

Led by the $300000 Springboard Mile, Friday night will be one of the best days of racing of the year in the state of Oklahoma.

GROUND conditions are one of the imponderables facing punters at Goodwood today and the going will be testing should the forecast heavy rain arrive, so it looks a day to tread carefully. Finding the winner of a competitive 16-runner Group Three Oak Tree Stakes (2.25pm) doesn't look a task for the faint hearted and the openness of the contest is…

Timeform provide a selection for each of the seven meetings due to take place in Britain and Ireland on Saturday. Desert Voice is a filly firmly on the up for William Haggas and looks on a good mark to complete a hat-trick at the foot of the weights in this mile contest. She has won her last two starts over seven furlongs, following up a ready…

We're now around 48 hours away from Aintree's flagship event, which means that the final list of runners is confirmed. Another Grand National is nearly upon us, so what better time to go through the Grand National runners and riders. Could it be third time lucky for this horse? He finished third in this race in 2021 and second behind Noble Yeats…

According to numberFire Racing's projections, these are the best bets to make at FanDuel Racing today. Funny Joke was a good runner-up on stable debut over this course last time and looks sure to go well again if reproducing that effort.

Timeform pick out the three best bets at Parx on Monday. Gushing Oil hasn't been at his best on his last couple of outings but has joined a barn that does well with new recruits and can bounce back to form.

Selections based on a soft track. 1. Oriental Tycoon has another chance here with the opportunity to be right on the speed in a race that looks to lack obvious tempo. He was solid first-up then odds-on and couldn't quite pick them up at Hawkesbury. Entitled to go close with the make-up of this race. Dangers: 7. Gelsey made a handy debut at…

Its been a pretty hectic month for Paddy what with his Pick 5 giveaways and pay out on Jonbon to win the Arkle Chase at the Cheltenham Festival - but is he finished? No he's not. Because the big man is front-and-centre again at Cheltenham on Saturday as the main sponsor of the feature race, the Paddy Power Gold Cup. Woof! And a card of such…

Timeform pick out the best bet at three different tracks on Friday. Saint Marco has yet to win on dirt but has run creditably on the surface, including last time, and holds better claims than most.

Timeform pick out the three best bets in North America on Thursday. Drum And Drummer looks to have decent claims. It's a lowly claimer and a rare start on dirt for the selection but he's been second the last twice he's run on the surface.
