El Mar

I fell in love with horse racing instantly since placing my first bet and watching the first race back in Nov 2019. Since then I've been watching, tipping and studying it almost every day. I am still learning more about "the game" with every race and I'm constantly trying to improve. There are many ways to be successful in this business and everyone has to find his own one. However there are a few rules I have set up for myself which horses to pick and currently they are working not so bad. I'm glad when there is a little exra money from horse racing at the end of the month for me and you if you follow my tips. 10th Jan 23

El Mar's Tips History

07 October 2024

17:45 5:45 Yarmouth

Kurimu

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

3yo filly Kurimu ran a pretty good 2024 season. She is still on a handy mark, and today's return to 6f paired with softish ground should be ideal. She should be in the mix.

17:20 5:20 Pontefract

Harrys Halo

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

4yo Irish gelding Harrys Halo has won his penultimate race over 6f at Windsor after coming back from a break. He followed up with a strong 3rd of 12 in a hot class 3 handicap also over 6f at Haydock on soft ground. He drops 2 classes back to class 5 today and goes well on slow ground. The booking of amazing Rossa Ryan catches the eye, and there is no doubt he will make a bold bid here.

17:10 5:10 Yarmouth

Dream Pirate

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

4yo gelding Dream Pirate is on a handy mark, 1lb below his last winning mark from October 23. He has gone close a few times this season and won a similar race over C&D last year. He holds every chance to go close here and is too high here with the current 16-1, in my opinion.

Repertoire

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

Take an EW chance on 8yo gelding Repertoire here. He is 1lb below his last winning mark and was a good 3rd of 8 last time out over 1m at Windsor on soft ground in a higher class than today. He goes well with jockey Jamie Spencer and holds every chance to be in the mix here.

16:45 4:45 Pontefract

Roundhay Park

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@15.00

Lose

-50

9yo gelding Roundhay Park is on a handy mark, 5lbs below his last winning mark from August 23. He has won over C&D in 2022 off the same mark, and he goes well on soft ground. He should be in the mix here and is way too high here, in my opinion, with the current 14-1.

16:35 4:35 Yarmouth

Macari

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

4yo gelding Macari knocked at the door in his first 3 handicap starts with form figures of 232. He was 14 lengths clear of the third last time out over 1m4f at Newmarket on soft ground. He should improve further and be in the mix here.

Turner Girl

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Win

5yo Irish mare Turner Girl is back on her last winning mark from April, which was over 1m2f at Doncaster on soft ground. This is a similar race with similar conditions, and the booking of Oisin Murphy catches the eye. She is a great price at the current 16-1 and holds every chance to place at least here.

16:12 4:12 Pontefract

Urban Sprawl

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 5.50 used instead of 4.33 takenBOG

@5.50

Win

225

4yo gelding Urban Sprawl was just beaten by a head LTO over 1m at Ayr. He is on a dangerous mark 8lbs below his last winning mark, and he is versatile ground-wise, so should be in the mix here.

15:37 3:37 Pontefract

Yorkindness

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

5yo mare Yorkindness is on a handy mark, 7lbs below her last winning mark. She has knocked a couple of times in 2024 and has won 3 times here at Pontefract. Booking Jason Hart is also a good move, and she should go close here.

15:02 3:02 Pontefract

Paladin

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

Take a chance on 3yo Irish gelding Paladin here. He returned from a 367-day break last time out when he was a good 4th of 9 over 7 1/2f at Beverley, just 2 1/4 lengths behind. He should be even sharper today and make another step forward. The slightly longer trip should suit him as well, and he shouldn't be far away.

13:52 1:52 Pontefract

Music Society

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

Really tricky one where 11 of the 14 runners have a realistic chance of winning this. However, I tried to find the most valuable one, and that's the 9yo Irish gelding Music Society for me. He hasn't won for almost 2 years now and therefore dropped to a dangerous mark, 17lbs below his last winning mark. Knocked at the door in his last two starts when both times runner-up. Goes well on soft ground and should be in the mix here.

Thornaby Pearl

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Lose

-50

Three of 6-year-old gelding Thornaby Pearl's four career wins came on soft ground, and the other one on good to soft, so he seems to have a preference for slow ground. He is on a handy mark, 3 lbs below his last winning mark, and should place at least here.

Colonel Lesley

@13.00

Void

8yo Irish gelding Colonel Lesley is in good form in 2024 and has knocked at the door a few times. This is a tad easier than his last races, and he should be in the mix again.

George Mallory

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@23.00

Win

I don't know why 8yo gelding George Mallory is 22-1 here. He has won over C&D in July off just a 2lb lower mark and was again 3rd over C&D in his penultimate race. So, he seems to like it around here and holds every chance to be in the mix.

16:45 4:45 Uttoxeter

Pawpaw

Daily Racing

25 EW

@19.00

Lose

-50

7yo gelding Pawpaw was 2 times 3rd in his last two starts over 2m7f. So today's first try over 3m could suit him very well, and he is on a dangerous mark, 16lbs below his last winning mark. He holds every chance to place at least here.

Prince Cleni

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

It feels like the first chasing tip in years, and it may be a complete flop, but I'll take a chance on the 6yo ex-French gelding Prince Cleni. He has form figures of 214 in his last races, with the latest effort coming off a short break. He was just about 10 lengths behind, beating 10 rivals. He has Adam Wedge, a top jockey, on board and shouldn't be far away here.

6yo Irish gelding Power Under Me loves the mud, and he has won his penultimate race over 7f at Naas on yielding ground. He is 2lbs lower than for that win today. Should be in the mix.

13:55 1:55 Tipperary

Fleetfoot

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

4yo Irish gelding Fleetfoot returned from a 362-day break lto over 1m2f at Curragh. He was far from disgraced in that race as he led for a long time, only to fade in the final furlong. So, the step back in trip and drop in grade should suit him perfectly today, and he has gone well on testing ground before. He should definitely be in the mix here and has a great price with the current 10-1.

05 October 2024

15:35 3:35 Ascot

Popmaster

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@12.00

Lose

-50

6yo Irish gelding Popmaster was beaten by a nose in this race last year. He is now 2lbs lower than for that effort, and he should find this race much easier than his last races. He should be in the mix here.

3yo filly Chorus showed some nice improvement in 2024. She was a good 3rd of 7 LTO over 1m2f here at this course and shaped like a longer trip would suit her very well. She gets this longer trip today and should make a bold bid with a top trainer-jockey combination.

15:00 3:00 Ascot

Purosangue

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

3yo colt Purosangue has knocked at the door a couple of times in 2024, especially LTO when only a neck behind in a Listed race over 6f at York. Could make another step forward today and should be in the mix here.

14:45 2:45 Redcar

Skinny Malinka

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

3yo Irish gelding Skinny Malinka was a good 4th of 10 on his handicap debut last time out over 1m2f at Beverley. He should make another step forward today, and the booking of Connor Beasley catches the eye. He should be in the mix.

04 October 2024

19:30 7:30 Newcastle

Pallas Lord

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

5 from 6-year-old Irish gelding Pallas Lord's 7 AW wins have come here at Newcastle. He has been running extraordinarily in the last year and returns from a break today. He should be in the mix.

19:00 7:00 Newcastle

Gordonstoun

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

6yo Irish gelding Gordonstoun was just 1 length behind last time out over course and distance when 3rd of 11. He is on a dangerous mark, 15lbs below his last winning mark, and should go close again today.

18:30 6:30 Newcastle

Urban Dandy

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@13.00

Lose

-50

4yo Irish gelding Urban Dandy is 4lbs below his last winning mark from March 23, which was here at this course over 5f. He shouldn't be far away here.

18:00 6:00 Newcastle

Light Speed

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

4yo Irish gelding Light Speed has won his third-to-last race over 7 1/2 f at Chester and would have gone much closer last time out with a clearer run. He returns to the AW today, which will suit him very well as he has made a hat-trick at the end of 2023 on this surface. He should be in the mix.

Master Richard

Daily Racing

25 EW

@9.00

Win

5yo gelding Master Richard is on a handy mark 4lbs below his last winning mark from May 23, which was here at this course over 7f. Knocked at the door lto with a close 4th of 14 at Southwell. This is easier, and he should place at least here.

@7.00

Win

300

3yo colt Ebts Guard was a creditable 6th of 31 in the Cambridgeshire last time out, and he shaped like a trip over 1m would have suited him better. He returns to this distance and calmer waters today and should be in the mix here.

16:30 4:30 Ascot

Commanche Falls

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

7yo gelding Commanche Falls was a creditable 6th of 25 in the Ayr Gold Cup. Is on a handy mark 6lbs below his last winning mark and he has won 2 from his 3 career races on soft ground, so should be in the mix here.

16:15 4:15 Newcastle

Polar Princess

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Take an EW chance on 4yo filly Polar Princess. She has won only once in her career, and this was over C&D off a 5lb higher mark. Jockey Rhys Elliott takes off another 7lbs, and she shouldn't be far away here.

Southern Voyage

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

6yo ex-French gelding Southern Voyage is back on his last winning mark from May. He was a creditable 4th of 12 on his first AW of the season over 1m4f at Southwell. This was in a higher class, so he should improve today. He has won over C&D off an 18lb higher mark in the past, so he should be firmly in the mix here.

15:57 3:57 Ascot

Pappano

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

From a gambler's perspective - and betting undoubtedly is gambling - I have to go with 3yo gelding Pappano. He definitely is not the obvious pick here, but with 16-1, he has great value in a 5-runner Listed affair on soft ground, where anything can happen. He has improved really nicely so far, and the Gosden stable has won this race last year. He holds every chance to go close here.

14:47 2:47 Ascot

True Legend

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

3yo Irish colt True Legend ran well in defeat in strong handicaps this season. This is his easiest race so far, and he was a good 3rd of 9 over C&D in his penultimate race. The ground shouldn't be an issue as he also ran well on good to soft, and he should make his presence felt here.

14:12 2:12 Ascot

Diffident Spirit

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Take an EW chance on 6yo gelding Diffident Spirit as he is back on his last winning mark, which was on heavy ground, so today's testing ground should suit. Came back from a 412-day break lto at Wolverhampton, and he will be happy to be back on turf today. That run should have blown the cobwebs away, and he should go much closer today. Holds every chance to place at least here.

Whenthedealinsdone

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@13.00

Lose

-50

6yo gelding Whenthedealisdone is on a really dangerous mark 18lbs below his last winning mark from September 22. Knocked at the door a few times this season and was a good 3rd of 12 lto over 6f at Southwell after a 70 day break. He kept on strong in that race so his first career try over 7f could suit well. Has no problem with soft ground and shouldn't be far away here.

Etretat

Daily Racing

-50

3yo gelding Etretat was a good 2nd of 11 lto over 1m2f at Beverley just 1/2 length behind. Has won one race in his career and this was on Tapeta, so should go well now back on this surface and be in the mix here.

8yo irish gelding Leodis Dream is back on a handy mark 3lbs below his last winning mark from April this season. Was far from disgraced lto when only beaten by 1/2 length over 5f at Redcar. Goes well on the AW and should be in the mix here.

Take a chance on 3yo filly High Violet here. Has gone close in almost all his races in 2024 and I think the step up to 7f could exactly be what she needs to win again. Shouldn't be far away.

Ten Commitments

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

3yo gelding Ten Commitments is improving really well in 2024. Last run can be easily forgiven as it was on soft ground over 1m. 7f on the AW should suit much better and he shouldn't be far away here.

18:40 6:40 Newcastle

Beattie Is Back

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

5yo gelding Beattie Is Back was a good 3rd of 10 lto over 6f at Redcar just beaten by 1 length. This was just his 2nd race after a 469 day break and he took a major step in the right direction. Switches to the AW today and he has run really well on this surface before, so shouldn't be far away here.

-50

6yo gelding As If By Chance is on a handy mark 5lbs below his last winning mark from August 23. Was a good 3rd of 13 lto over C&D although he was hampered in this race. Jockey Alex Jary takes off another 5lbs and he should be in the mix here.

Dereham

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

I think 8yo gelding Dereham is way too high here with curent 17-2 i this 6 runner affair. Knocked at the door in his last two starts with two 3rds over 1m6f at Yarmouth and 2m1f at Pontefract. Has run well here before at this track and he is on a handy mark 1lb below his last winning mark. Drops in class and shouldn't be far away here.

6yo gelding Saratoga Gold's last win came on the AW at Kempton over 1m4f off a 8lb higher mark as he is today. Knocked at the door in his last two starts when 3rd and 2nd at Thirsk and Pontefract. Should be in the mix here.

3yo Frankel filly Frankelian is still a maiden after 8 races but she knocked at the door a couple of times in 2024. Is on a handy mark and the booking of amazing Rossa Ryan catches the. Blinkers go on es well and she shouldn't be far away here.

3yo irish colt Odin Legacy was a good 3rd of 9 on his hc debut lto over 1m2f at Sandown. Stays on the same mark and with jockey Sean Levey and should improve further.

4yo filly Sonnet Star was runner-up lto over 1m4f at Ffos Las. Is on a handy mark 5lbs below her opening hc mark and the step back to 1m2f will suit. Should go close.

6yo ex-french gelding Media Guest is in good form this season especially here at Bath with form figures of 2212 in his last 4 races .

-50

Tricky one with many chances. However 9yo gelding Beyond Equal should have a good chance here as he travelled really strong lto over C&D but met a lot of traffic then just to ran on again in the final strides. This one is easier and with the slow ground the pace should collapse even more at the end which will be in his favour.

6yo irish gelding Ciotog is on a dangerous mark 13lbs below his last winning mark from September 23. Knocked at the door in his last and 3rd last race and he runs the first time on soft ground today in his career. This is the only question mark he can go well on slower ground. Otherwise he should be in the mix here.

-50

5yo irish gelding Marsh Benham badly knocked at the door in his last 5 races with form figures of 24333. Is on a handy mark 4lbs below his last winning mark and this win came on heavy ground, so should be definitely in the mix here with the soft going.

4yo gelding Racing Demon has won his last race over C&D and he is only up 2lbs for that. Has easily won by 4 1/2 lengths on soft ground at Chepstow in a similar race as today. Gets the soft ground again today and should make another bold bid.

4yo gelding Surrey Charm returned from a 324 day break lto when a good 3rd of 5 just beaten by about 1m4f at Ffos Las on heavy ground. Should be even sharper today and the slightly longer trip should suit. A bit dryer ground should also be in his favour and he should be in the mix here.
