Ascot betting tips for 25th July

By Angus | July 22, 2009

CONDUIT can continue an amazing run of winning favourites in the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on Saturday. The colt can be backed at 7/4 at most online bookmakers, but if you haven’t got a Bet365 account yet it’s well worth opening one.

Another look at Frankie Dettori’s ride of Conduit in the recent Coral-Eclipse shows just how strong a horse Conduit is. Michael Stoute’s runner would have comfortably beaten most horses in the world in that race, but for the fact that two of them were Sea The Stars – officially the best horse in the world, according to Timeform – and a tactically well-supported Rip Van Winkle.

You can watch the race again at Bet365 – look for “Bet365 Extra” and then choose “Racing Archive” in the “Results and Archive” drop-down menu. The service is free to signed-in customers. (The Eclipse, incidentally, was the 3.15 at Sandown on Saturday, 4th July.)

While there, it’s worth watching the Buckingham Palace Stakes (the 5.30 at Royal Ascot on 19th June) for the performance of Horatio Carter, a 25/1 shot in the Abu Dhabi International, also being run at Ascot this Saturday.

At the Royal meeting, Horatio Carter was hampered by a poor draw and, had he been in the stands side group, could have finished far higher than the 9th position he ended up with suggests (you’ll have to watch the race to believe me). He’s since won at Newcastle and all the International trends suggest he can win this big handicap on Saturday – he’s certainly worth a point each-way.

But Conduit should be your big bet of the day. Favourites have won the last five King Georges and Conduit can make it a sixth. We’re going in with ten points riding on her.

And remember – new customers to Bet365 can claim up to £100 in free bets and they’re also offering 1/4 the odds a place each-way on the King George. Go to the website for more details.
