HORSERACING

Saturday's Betfair Handicap Hurdle at Newbury is the richest handicap hurdle at Newbury and dominates the weekend.

DON'T FORGET TO READ MY BLOG ON SATURDAY AND GET MY ANALYSIS OF THE RACE

Today's feature race is the SydneyBanks Hurdle at Huntingdon, a race my friend Andrew won a few years ago with Crocadee.

A mouthwatering clash today between Ma Du Fou and North Hill Harvey who both have Cheltenham aspirations. I expect Harvey to emerge triumphant.

BETTING

We are coming up to a peak period of betting with the Cheltenham, Aintree, Ayr, Sandown and Punchestown festivals.

Time for a little honesty. Ask yourself whether you win or lose at betting.

Then ask yourself how much you spend/lose - if you don't know you should - write your daily stakes and returns down in your diary - you will be surprised at the answers.

91per cent of HORSERACING gamblers lose.

If you want to join the other 9 per cent - either join KSTIPS or, if you want to win with your own betting, spend less than £100 and buy the Developer A Winning Mentality and Staking to Win Course from www.learntobet.com. Apply the lessons and your betting career will be transformed
