Tricky Trickster Pointed At National
A buzz already surrounds the entrants for the 2010 Grand National, we decided to take a closer look at Tricky Trickster, one of the ante-post favourites.
Ollie Magern and the Grand National
One of the horses that featured in the 2009 Grand National is Ollie Magern, The horse is well known in the betting world for his ability to get out in front of the pack early on in a race. Sadly Ollie rarely stays the distance but many punters love his horse as he can really turn the in-running betting on it's head, just wait until Ollie charges out in front and watch novice punters heap the money on him, you can then lay those bets for a tidy profit.

Guide To Racing Tic Tac
Every wondered why those bookies at the races make strange hand signals to each other? Tic Tac is the communication system used at racecourses by betting firms to signal betting moves, price changes, money to be put on. Tic-Tac is a feature of English and Scottish racecourses like Aintree and Ayr. It's a language in itself and when you see someone performing it's quite a sight! You can get a full run down on TIC TAC at the Grand National website

Total Gallery ~ Bet Of The Day (Newbury)
It can be tough to pinpoint value bets on the flat in the autumn, but todays races at Newbury are worth a second look. Total Gallery goes up against a few smart sprinters in Newbury's 3.25, is the horse in question and I rate him as one of the best bets of the weekend. Total Gallery has thrived on racing this season. The way he travelled when chasing home Kingsgate Native was impressive and this looks just the right stage for him to prove that he is more than capable of scoring at Group 3 level.
