Ante Post Horse Racing Predictions – Finding Value at Horse Racing Not on Gamstop Sites

As Flat racing slowly comes to an end racing fans start looking towards Christmas and the new year for some mouthwatering events on the national hunt racing calendar. Notably, The Christmas festival at Kempton Park, host of the famous ‘King George Chase’ on boxing day, will see the best staying chasers in the division. Last year saw a big upset with outsider ‘Headwick’ staying on strongly to take the grade 1 race.

These are the leading contenders for the King George and their best priced odds at horse racing not on Gamstop sites:

Il Est Francais 6/1
Fact to file 6/1
Gaelic warrior 8/1
Jonbon 8/1
Gerri Colombe 10/1

With not a huge amount of value for a race this far away, I will personally be having a small bet on Fact to File 6/1 to win here and hope the Irish master, Willie Mullins star turns up here and delivers on his huge promise.

After the hectic racing calendar over the Christmas and new year period all eyes turn to the Cheltenham Festival, arguably the biggest event on the racing calendar, where trainers across England and Ireland descend to Gloucestershire for the best week of the year! As an avid follower of horseracing I am always on the lookout for Value coming into the big festivals so will always be in the look out for big ante post bets I can get stuck into.

The Cheltenham Festival

Throughout the year punters will invest money into ante post betting for the Cheltenham festival hoping to get the early prices on their favourite horses before they run throughout the year and potentially win and inevitably shorten in the market.

Every year a lot of the big races are absolutely dominated by the Irish trainers and notably Willie Mullins so finding several hot shots and combining them together at larger ante post prices can create huge wins, the main task is guessing which races they will be aimed at.

This Year some of the main horses to focus on from Willies yard will be;

BallyBurn
Gaelic Warrior
Lossiemouth
Fact to File
Mystical Power
Stateman
El Fabiolo

I will be putting together a small ante post treble with Ballyburn, Lossiemouth and Stateman. These are the best industry prices found at betting sites not on Gamstop:

Ballyburn to win the Cheltenham Arkle – 11/2 best price with Freshbet
Lossiemouth to win the Mares Hurdle – 9/4 best price with Mystake
Stateman to win the Champion Hurdle – 4/1 best price with Donbet

A controversial decision in betting Stateman to retain his crown in the champion hurdle against the monster that is Constitution Hill, but that is where the value lies.

And Finally The Punchestown Festival, Races I find typically dominated by the Irish. I also find these races tend to throw up plenty of surprises after a lot of the big named horses have had extremely hard seasons which sometimes leaves it open for some of the fresher horses that have been kept for this festival in mind.

I will save my Ante Post betting money till after the Cheltenham festival to see how the horses come out of that. Happy Punting!!!
