The BOYLE Sports JT McNamara Munster National Handicap Chase takes place on Sunday, with Limerick Racecourse hosting a Grade 3 encounter over three miles. The betting is typically wide open, with Bossofthebrownies, Pinot Gris and Uhavemeinstitches among the market leaders. There’s a strong test of stamina and speed in order to claim the spoils.

The 2026 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes promises to be a quality renewal, with Talk Of New York heading the betting for this one mile showdown. There’s a huge prize pot and the Charlie Appleby-trained charge has had a strong season. However, Constitution River should go well and perhaps Rayif can land a third win of the campaign for Francis-Henri Graffard.

The British Champions Fillies & Mares Stakes is a Group One encounter which is the fourth race at Ascot on Saturday, with the runners and riders battling it out over a mile and four furlongs. Kalpana has claimed three wins already this term, with the five-year-old potentially proving too strong for others in the field including Sparan Nua and Lilt.

The British Champions Sprint Stakes features seventeen runners although it could be all about one horse. Almeraq has been installed as the short-priced favourite to land a victory, with the William Haggas-trained charge set to go well over six furlongs. Kind Of Blue was a winner on the all-weather last time out, with Paborus and Coppull potentially good each-way wagers.
13/10/2026 14:30
British Champions Day finishes with the Balmoral Handicap where the runners and riders battle it out over a mile. There are three front runners, with Crown Of Oaks, Gavriel and Scoville all trading at a similar price. The latter looks the most interesting after emerging victorious last time out, although William Haggas also has the former.
13/10/2026 14:30
The 2026 Caulfield Cup looks to be a wide open contest, with this being one of Australia’s richest races of the season. Cosmic Crusader is likely to go off as favourite, with the six-year-old putting on a bright showing at Flemington last time out. We think Wine Dark Sea is also worth considering, with price boosts available for this huge race.
13/10/2026 14:30
The Long Distance Cup gets the ball rolling on British Champions Day at Ascot, with the runners and riders battling it out over two miles. Scandinavian is a leading chance for Aidan O’Brien and it’s hard to crab the horse’s form, although we’re taken by the performances of Caballo De Mar and the runner should well at a nice price.
13/10/2026 13:00
Calandagan won the Qatar Racing Champion Stakes last year and we’re sticking with the five-year-old to be in the winners’ enclosure on British Champions Day. The five-year-old has had a solid season, although Ombudsman could be a worthy rival. The horse has recorded three straight wins and there’s also Bay City Roller who hasn’t been out of the first two all campaign.

The Thousands Guineas takes place on 17 October, with this being one of the highlight races on the Australian calendar. Caulfield Racecourse hosts an encounter which looks wide open and our preference is for Pretty Baby. However, it’s a typically high-class field, with horses such as Regal Ambition and Global Goal having a decent chance of victory too.
09/10/2026 17:45
The 2026 Everest could be all about one horse according to the latest Australian racing odds. We’ve rarely seen such a strong favourite as Ka Ying Rising who has swept all before him in a stellar career. The David A Hayes-trained charge will clearly be tough to beat, with Tempted potentially the best alternative after some smart performances.

The Emirates Autumn Stakes is the third race on the card at Newmarket on Saturday, with as many as sixteen runners lining up for this encounter. Run over a mile, Wall Street and Capability Brown are both entered for Aidan O’Brien but at least one of these might be switched to the Zetland Stakes. It could open the door for Rock Montreal to land a win.
06/10/2026 18:30
The Zetland Stakes is the second race out of seven on Saturday’s Newmarket card, with this encounter taking place over a mile and two furlongs. It’s a Group 3 showdown where Capability Brown is trading as the warm favourite, with Wall Street operating at a similar price and open to huge improvement.
06/10/2026 08:20
The Sky Bet Rockingham Stakes kicks off proceedings at York Racecourse on Saturday, with the runners and riders competing over six furlongs. A fast turn of speed is required for the winner, with Jolivette getting the nod. Sharadd is the favourite to win and has to be respected, with Scythe the other front runner in the market.
06/10/2026 08:15
The Persian War Novices' Hurdle is the fourth race out of seven on Friday’s Chepstow’s card, with the runners and riders competing over two miles, three and a half furlongs. It’s a Grade 2 showdown which involves Lord Byron, North Shore and Cosmic Connection. There could be strong each-way chances in the form of Le Moulin Rouge and Pioneer Pete.
06/10/2026 08:15
The Too Darn Hot Darley Stakes is the first race on Saturday’s Newmarket card, with the runners and riders competing over a mile and one furlong. It’s a Group Three showdown, with Haatem and The Lost King among the favourites. Nahraan is also trading at a short price, although Song Of The Clouds gets our vote at a nice each-way price.
Our horse racing tips are always carefully researched. For each race, we look at every runner irrespective of their odds. Naturally, we take form into account and that also applies to previous seasons. Our team can also determine which horses might be stepping up or down in class which is important.
Our daily horse racing tips often include handicaps. Therefore, we'll look at the weight allowance for each horse. The handicapper's mark will always have a bearing on the race outcome. It's also vital to establish the going before publishing our free racing tips. Some horses will always prefer the ground on which they're travelling.
Trainer and jockey information is also taken into account when creating racing tips today. Other important factors are course and distance. Many of our racing tips are for horses who tick both of these boxes. As the race gets nearer, price movement is also taken into consideration.
