Newbury Betting Tips

Leading Lambourn Trainer Nicky Henderson has a good record with his novices here. It ‘s always worth studying his runners over hurdles when selecting your Newbury bets.

Philip Hobbs also does well here with his runners over the smaller obstacles. Colin Tizzard’s runners are worth following over fences, particularly in the big handicap chases.

One useful Newbury tip when betting on the Ladbrokes Trophy is to look for horses with previous form at the track. Most past winners have been experienced chasers with winning form at 3m or further.

There’s always a busy ante-post Newbury betting market on the Betfair Hurdle. The recent trend here has been to look for an improving novice aged five or six. Horses with good recent form tend to dominate this highly competitive race.

Champion jockey Richard Johnson often features in Newbury tips, while Gavin Sheehan has also enjoyed plenty of success here. John Gosden has a good strike rate at Newbury and Frankie Dettori and Jim Crowley are among the leading flat jockeys at the track.

Four-year-olds have by far the best record in the Lockinge Stakes and the race is usually won by a horse with a previous Group 1 victory. Visit news.williamhill.com for all the horse racing previews, news and the latest Newbury odds.

Newbury Course Characteristics

Newbury is a left-handed galloping track with a circuit of almost 1m6f. It has a long, wide home straight with a straight course for races up to 1m on the flat. There are slight undulations, but Newbury is regarded as one of the easiest courses to ride in the country.

The nature of the track makes it ideal for newcomers under both codes. It’s a favoured option for the top Lambourn stables and only Newmarket hosts better quality maiden races. There’s no discernible draw bias and Newbury form usually holds up well at other courses.

Newbury Horse Racing History

Racing in the Newbury area was first recorded at Enborne Heath in 1805 before being transferred to Woodhay Heath ten years later. The current Newbury Racecourse was not established until 1905.
