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

21 October 2024

17:20 5:20 Pontefract

Digital

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

I don't know why the 6-year-old Irish gelding Digital is 16-1 here. He was a good 4th of 9 in his penultimate race, just beaten by 1 length over 5f at Hamilton on heavy ground, in a higher class than today. We'll forgive him his last run as he never really kicked in that race. He could easily bounce back today from a nice draw.

17:15 5:15 Bath

Ciotog

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 6.50 used instead of 6.00 takenBOG

@6.50

Win

275

6yo Irish gelding Ciotog is on a really dangerous mark, 14lbs below his last winning mark from September 23. He has knocked a couple of times in his last 4 races, and as a two-time C&D winner, he always must enter calculations.

16:45 4:45 Pontefract

Paddy The Squire

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-50

4yo colt Paddy The Squire ran pretty well in August/September when back from a 354-day break, placing both times. Not so good then, but these were 2 hot class 2 handicaps, and he drops to class 4 today. He will find this a lot easier and goes well on soft ground. He will be in the mix.

16:40 4:40 Bath

Kings Code

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

4yo gelding Kings Code caught the eye last time out over 1m at Kempton when running on really strong inside the final couple of furlongs and then holding his pace very well. He also ran a good race when last seen on slow ground over 1m2 1/2f at Chester in June. He is on a handy mark 5lbs below his last winning mark and should be in the mix here.

16:10 4:10 Bath

Faustus

Daily Racing

50 WINR4Deductions based on standard industry rates given the odds of each withdrawn horse at time of first withdrawal following your betNR

@12.00

Void

Take a chance on 6yo gelding Faustus here. He is in good form this season and he ran pretty well in his third-to-last race, a hot class 2 handicap, on soft ground at Ascot. He will find this easier, and the return of Joe Leavy into the saddle is a big plus. He shouldn't be far away.

19 October 2024

15:25 3:25 Catterick

Beltane

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

5yo Irish gelding Beltane is on a dangerous mark, 15lbs below his last winning mark from June 23. He has knocked at the door a couple of times this season and he goes well on soft ground. I like the first-time booking of Sean Bowen, and he should be in the mix here.

13:30 1:30 Catterick

Dark Jedi

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

Take a chance on 8yo Irish gelding Dark Jedi here. He is back on a handy mark, 4 lbs below his last winning mark from May. He drops in class and goes well on soft ground. He shouldn't be far away.

18 October 2024

17:20 5:20 Redcar

Sameem

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

8yo Irish gelding Sameem was far from disgraced in his last two races when he finished 4th both times. He is back on a handy mark, just 1lb above his last winning mark, and performs well on slower ground. He holds every chance to be in the mix here.

16:12 4:12 Redcar

Copper And Five

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

8yo gelding Copper and Five has 6 years of racing and 43 runs under his belt, but he has never run under 1m. So, this is his first try over 7f today, and it could suit him well. He is on a handy mark, 3lbs below his last winning mark, and goes well on soft ground. He shouldn't be far away.

16:05 4:05 Haydock

Mercurial

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

5yo Irish gelding Mercurial seems to be the one to beat here. He loves the mud and was only beaten by a neck LTO over 7 1/2f at Roscommon. Definitely will go close.

15:37 3:37 Redcar

Mutanaaseq

Daily Racing

25 EW

@17.00

Lose

-50

9yo Irish gelding Mutanaaseq is on a dangerous mark, 13lbs below his last winning mark from September 23. He goes very well on soft ground and holds every chance to be in the mix here.

Temper Trap

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEBest Odds Guaranteed SP 3.50 used instead of 2.75 takenBOG

@3.50

Win

125

7yo gelding Temper Trap has easily won his last race over 7f at Leicester on heavy ground by 3 1/4 lengths. He is up 5lbs for that, but that shouldn't stop him from making another bold bid in a similar race and again on slow ground. He is the one to beat here.

14:55 2:55 Haydock

Station X

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@15.00

Win

700

Take a chance on 2yo colt Station X here. He was a good 4th of 10 last time out over 5f at Catterick in his first run on soft ground. He gets an even more testing ground today and steps up to 6f for the first time, which could suit him. He shouldn't be far away.

14:27 2:27 Redcar

Sound Reason

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

6yo gelding Sound Reason has dropped to a dangerous mark, 10lbs below his last winning mark from July '23. He keeps on knocking at the door recently and wasn't disgraced LTO over C&D when 6th of 11, just beaten by 2 1/3 lengths despite a high draw. He has a good draw today, and Jason Watson returns to the saddle. He should be in the mix.

13:52 1:52 Redcar

Cold Stare

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.50

Lose

-50

The combination of dropping 2 classes and the soft ground should see the 9-year-old Irish gelding Cold Stare well ahead here. He wasn't disgraced in the Ayr Bronze Cup on his penultimate start when only beaten by 2 3/4 lengths, and this is a lot easier. He will be in the mix.

17 October 2024

20:30 8:30 Southwell

Bay Of Naples

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

8yo Irish gelding Bay of Naples is on a handy mark, 5 lbs below his last winning mark. He is in good form since returning from a short break in summer. He has won 3 times here at this course, so he shouldn't be far away.

20:00 8:00 Southwell

Sharp Distinction

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@21.00

Lose

-50

5yo gelding Sharp Distinction was a good 2nd of 6 LTO over 2m 1/2f here at this course. This was his first run after wind surgery, so he should make another step forward today. He is very well handicapped, and with the current 20-1, he is a huge price. He should be one third of it, in my opinion.

19:30 7:30 Southwell

Snash

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@5.50

Win

225

6yo Irish gelding Snash knocked at the door in his last 4 races, never beaten by more than 3 lengths, two of them over C&D. He is on a really dangerous mark, 9lbs below his last winning mark, and will be in the mix here.

19:00 7:00 Southwell

Ararat

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@15.00

-50

Take a chance on 4yo Irish gelding Ararat here. He is in nice form, winning his penultimate race over 7f at Chelmsford City, and was far from disgraced LTO over 6f at Wolverhampton when 5th of 12, just beaten by 2 lengths. 7f is definitely his best trip, and he should be in the mix here.

18:30 6:30 Southwell

Cliffcake

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

6yo Irish horse Cliffcake is on a handy mark, 5 lbs below his last winning mark from March this year. He has won 4 times here at Southwell and was a good 5th of 8 LTO here over 7f, just beaten by 1 3/4 lengths. He will be in the mix.

17:00 5:00 Southwell

Lady Nunthorpe

@7.00

Win

300

3yo Irish filly Lady Nunthorpe was a good 3rd of 10 LTO over 5f at Newcastle on her first AW run of the season. She should make another step forward today, and the booking of good apprentice jockey Tom Kiely-Marshall with his 5lb claimer catches the eye.

16:20 4:20 Brighton

Otago

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@4.50

Win

175

7yo gelding Otago loves it here at Brighton, as he has won this race last year off a 1lb higher mark and made his 4th C&D on his penultimate start. He goes well on slow ground and will be in the mix.

15:15 3:15 Brighton

Darvel

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

6yo Irish gelding Darvel has won this race 2 years ago off a 4lb higher mark than he is today. He is lightly raced in 2024 and may have needed the run last time out on the AW at Lingfield after a 3-month break. He goes well here at Brighton and on soft ground and should be in the mix.

16 October 2024

20:15 8:15 Kempton

Concierge

Daily Racing

25 EW

@26.00

Lose

-50

Take an EW chance on 8yo Irish gelding Concierge. He is on a handy mark, 3 lbs below his last winning mark, and usually goes well here at Kempton. He holds every chance to place at least here.

50 WIN

@8.00

Lose

-50

3yo filly Ten Dimes was a strong 2nd over C&D in her penultimate race and has form figures of 212 in her other 3 runs on the AW. She should make another bold bid under her usual jockey, Robert Havlin.

Our Golden One

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@9.00

Lose

-50

3yo Irish filly Our Golden One is in nice form in 2024, and this step back to 1m2f should suit her well as she weakened LTO over 1m5 1/2f at Newbury. Hollie Doyle stays in the saddle, and she should be in the mix here.

6yo Irish gelding Harswell Duke is on a really dangerous mark, 15lbs below his last winning mark from April '23. Made a good first run for new trainer Liam Bailey LTO when 5th of 9 over 1m at Pontefract on soft ground. Should make some further progress with the booking of Jason Hart and be in the mix here.

@17.00

Win

Take an EW chance on 5yo gelding Encourageable. He returned from a 419-day break last time out when a good 4th of 8 over 7f at Haydock on heavy ground. He should make another big step forward today on his 2nd run after his lengthy absence and wind surgery, and the booking of Jason Hart catches the eye. He should be in the mix.

Zip

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

8yo gelding Zip is back on a handy mark, 6lbs below his last winning mark from October '23. He acts well on testing ground, and the booking of Oisin McSweeney with his 3lb claimer is a good move. Shouldn't be far away.

4yo Irish gelding No Surrender is on a dangerous mark, 12lbs below his opening handicap mark. He was just beaten by 2 3/4 lengths last time out over 1m2f at Redcar when returning from an 80-day break. Should strip even fitter today and the booking of Callum Rodriguez is a good move.

Take an EW chance on 3yo Irish gelding Bated Breeze as he is on a more than handy mark, 8lbs below his opening handicap mark. Wasn't disgraced last time out at Goodwood in a higher class. Booking of Jason Watson is a good move, and he should be in the mix here.

-50

4yo gelding Tilsworth Turf has won his last race over 6f at Ripon on soft ground by 2 3/4 lengths and is now 2-3 on soft ground and gets these conditions again tomorrow. The booking of amazing Rossa Ryan catches the eye, and he should definitely go close again.

16:55 4:55 Musselburgh

Ski Angel

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.00

Lose

-50

Wide open and weak class 6 affair here. I'll take a chance on 4yo filly Ski Angel. She is back on a handy mark, 5 lbs below her last winning mark from June this year, which was over C&D on the same going as today. Booking Joanna Mason could be a good move as well, and she should be in the mix here.

16:50 4:50 Windsor

Desperate Dan

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.50

Lose

-50

3yo Irish gelding Desperate Dan easily won LTO over 1m1/2f at Nottingham on heavy ground by 5 lengths in a higher class than today, although he was eased in the final strides. The 7lb rise in the OR won't stop him from running another cracker, and he should easily win this one again.

16:20 4:20 Musselburgh

Black Friday

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@21.00

Lose

-50

Taking (one last?) chance on the old boy Black Friday here. He hasn't won that often in his career but always ran quite well when the cheekpieces were on, and they are on again today for the first time since 2022. Two of his 7 career wins have come here at Musselburgh, and he is on a dangerous mark 13lbs below his last winning mark. He shouldn't be far away.

16:15 4:15 Windsor

Seraphic

4yo Irish gelding Seraphic was a strong 3rd of 11 in his penultimate run over C&D, just 1/2 length behind current 2nd fav Stintino Sunset. He is on a handy mark, 13lbs below his opening hc mark, and the return of Jack Mitchell into the saddle is another plus. He should be in the mix here.

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

4yo filly Nibras Angel was a good 3rd of 10 last time out over 7f at Newmarket when returning from a 108-day break. May have needed the run and should be even sharper today. Is on a handy mark 4lbs below her opening handicap mark and this one is a bit easier than last time out. Will be in the mix.

15:42 3:42 Windsor

Miss Harmony

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

5yo mare Miss Harmony is on a more than dangerous mark, 12lbs below her last winning mark from March 23. She wasn't far away on her 2nd and 3rd last run under today's jockey, Jay Mackay. She is another 4, respectively, 6lbs lower than for those runs and should be in the mix here.

15:20 3:20 Musselburgh

Animato

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@7.50

Lose

-50

5yo gelding Animato is back on a handy mark, 1lb below his last winning mark. His better efforts came on softish ground, which he gets today. The return of David Nolan in the saddle is a good move, and he shouldn't be far away here.

15:12 3:12 Windsor

Kiss And Run

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@10.00

Lose

-50

Yes, the 3yo filly Kiss And Run is on a high mark, but she is in nice form this season. Her last win came over C&D three runs ago. The booking of the amazing Rossa Ryan catches the eye, and she should go close here.

14:50 2:50 Musselburgh

Albegone

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@8.50

Lose

-50

When a horse was only 3/4 length behind in his last race and jockey Cam Hardie was on in that race, he should usually win his next race when another jockey is on board. And so it is today with 6yo gelding Albegone. He was runner-up lto over 5f at Redcar, and now David Allan takes over. He is on a handy mark, just 1lb above his last winning mark, and has won this race last year. He will definitely be in the mix.

13:50 1:50 Musselburgh

Bulls Aye

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@11.00

Lose

-50

I've tipped the 6yo Irish gelding twice now, and he let me down both times. If he does again today, this will be the last time I've backed him. However, he is on a really handy mark, 8lbs below his last winning mark, which was last year over C&D. He usually goes well with an apprentice jockey. The last time Miss Hannah Crawford was on board, he was only beaten by 3/4 length. In that race, she didn't have her 7lb claimer, which she has today. He shouldn't be far away.

13:42 1:42 Windsor

Space Trooper

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.50

Lose

-50

From a punter's point of view alone, you have to go with 4yo gelding Space Trooper. With 11-2 in a 3 runners race, he has great value. In addition to that, he was a good 3rd in his first career race LTO and amazing Rossa Ryan is booked. Definitely will go close here.
