Brilliant Big Buck's wins the Long Walk Hurdle
Members of the VIP Betting Club had a relatively quite weekend, at least when it comes to racing. If you're anything like me, you were given orders to get out and finish the Christmas shopping. I battled with the crowds in Milton Keynes, and finally arrived home at 6pm, exhausted! How about you?
Back to the racing, and the big crowd draw of the weekend was Big Buck's at Ascot. He was contesting the Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1) and this year the race was named after a former winner, Lough Derg. The Paul Nicholls superstar was seeking an amazing fourteenth consecutive win, and interestingly enough, running at Ascot saw him racing right-handed for the very first time in all his 33 starts.
Big Buck's duly won of course, after 'toying' with Dynaste who had been setting the pace, and frankly seemed the only horse who might possibly give any trouble to Ruby Walsh and his mount.
His next race will be at the Festival in March when he contests the World Hurdle.
The full race report at the Racing Post is at the link below:
So for VIP members it was something of a smash-and-grab Saturday, with one race and one winner. However, returned at odds of 30/100 odds on, sadly we still can't afford that diamond necklace Christmas gift for the missus.
I shall be at Kempton on Boxing Day to watch what looks to be a cracking King George Chase.
It just remains for me to wish everybody a very happy Christmas.

Join Up wins quite cosily at 9/1
Members of the Daily Nap service enjoyed a win at a fairly decent price yesterday at Wolverhampton when the Mark Brisbourne trained Join Up won the class 6 handicap over the extended mile at odds of 9/1
Just a moderate handicap, but JOIN UP won quite cosily. He´d slipped to a good mark, 3lb lower than when last successful (over this C&D), and with the benefit of a run under his belt following a six-month absence he travelled smoothly into the lead before keeping on well to score with a bit in hand. That said, he doesn´t have the profile of a horse who is likely to follow up.

Tingle Creek review
My usual review of the weekend's racing with Redd Racing. I made a decision Friday afternoon I would make the trip down to Sandown on Saturday, as my daily nap was running in the novice hurdle, and VIP members had an interest in both the King Henry VIII novice chase and the Grade 1 Tingle Creek.
Knight Pass was the well fancied favourite in the 12:55 novice hurdle, but proved disappointing. Al Ferof scored in the King Henry VIII, and Sizing Europe proved too strong for Kauto Stone up the stiff Sandown finishing straight.
Read the full race review for the Tingle Creek at the Racing Post:
Approaching the last it was Sizing Europe’s race to lose but the 11-8 favourite was not to be denied a fourth Grade 1 win over fences and was once again foot perfect.
So with two winners from three bets, overall it was a good weekend for Redd Racing members.

Overturn lands gamble in Fighting Fifth
Members of the Redd Racing VIP Betting Club were thrilled to see Overturn repel all his rivals, including the Champion Hurdler Binocular, with an all-the-way win in the Grade 1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle this afternoon at Newcastle.
Overturn became the first horse to add a win in Newcastle's big jump race to victory in the track's biggest Flat race when the Northumberland Plate winner of 2010 landed a huge plunge on course.

How to look after your piggy bank
Last week I decided to re-mortgage the house, I raided the savings account, withdrew everything from the childrens’ University Fund, then sold all my shares ….and then I lumped all the cash I had on the favourite in the 1:30 at Kempton Park.
Of course I’m kidding! That would have been bonkers, and practically inviting financial disaster.
Staking absolutely everything you have on just one horse is an example of bad money management. Granted, it’s an extreme example, but I reckon it got your attention, didn’t it?
Yet far too often your typical punter is guilty of poor money management. On a much lesser scale admittedly, but is it any wonder that in the long run the average punter loses money betting on horse racing?
I’m frequently asked by my readers “how much” they should put on each bet, and “do I have a staking system?”, or “how quickly can I give up my job and just bet on the horses?”.
It seems plenty of people like to pay lip service to managing their betting bank-roll, but it never ceases to amaze me how so many people are still acting so recklessly with their money when it comes to betting.
Best intentions
It strikes me that the perennial losing punter is a little like the over-weight bloke, who sets out on January 1st with every good intention of losing his beer gut.
He has a few salads, maybe even pays a visit to the gym. But more often than not come February he is back to his comfortable eating habits, and the weight continues to pile on.
And it will often be the same with the average punter – he has developed bad habits that have, over time, contributed to a steady flow of money out of his bank account and into the cash-till of his local bookmakers. To become a winning punter he must change his ways.
Over the course of the next few weeks I’m going to examine some of the bad betting habits that contribute to an unhealthy bank balance. But before the next instalment, I’d like to ask you a question… what would you say is your greatest weakness when it comes to losing money on the horses? Leave a comment below.

Kauto Star could be heading back to King George
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Paul Nicholls sits down with Clive Smith to discuss plans for Boxing Day. After the stellar performances of both Kauto Star and Master Minded on Saturday - what to?
The 11-year-old bounced back to his brilliant best when defeating last season’s King George and Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run in the Grade 1 Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday, leaving Nicholls and Smith with the dilemma as to whether to run him in the race they have earmarked for stablemate Master Minded who also got back to winning ways at Ascot on Saturday.

Overturn profits as Oscar Whisky stumbles
Members of the Redd Racing VIP Betting Club were given just the one selection yesterday, to back Overturn in The Ascot Hurdle. They were rewarded with a 5/2 winner.
Many shrewd judges fancied Overturn to beat the favourite Oscar Whisky, but in the end it was an easy success for Donald McCain’s charge after the market leader tipped up at the last when challenging the winner, who was able to canter home from his trailing rivals.

Long Run will be hard to beat in Betfair Chase
Gold Cup champion is the one to beat in this afternoon's Betfair Chase at Haydock. Trainer Paul Nicholl's speaking on The Morning Line said,
On all known form he's the best horse in the race. He's a class horse and I think he will be very hard to beat.
A mouthwatering clash with Kauto Star could be the highlight of today's racingGo to Redd Racing for today's free racing tip

Swift Chap lives up to his name
New members enjoying a week of free horse racing tips collected on a 11/1 winner yesterday at Wincanton as Swift Chap came home in the handicap hurdle over two and a half miles.
Darren O´Dwyer, assistant to Philip Hobbs, said,
The step up in trip has helped Swift Chap. He wouldn´t want the ground heavy and may have a break over the winter.
The race was a modest but competitive start to the meeting. The pace looked sound. Swift Chap finished in front of Calico Rose last time (extended 2 miles at Chepstow) when cheek-pieces were refitted, but was unproven at this distance and was weak in the market. However, he got himself into contention despite needing to be pushed along and ground out a pleasing success.
Trainer with a foot in both camps
Trainer and Queen's Counsel Graeme McPherson has been in the racing news quite a bit recently after being accused and fined for schooling a horse at Chepstow.
It's abhorrent to me that anyone could suggest I had been cheating in some way. I would not embarrass myself by cheating, or embarrass the BHA by cheating. I know the rules as well as any trainer and the importance of abiding by them as well as any trainer.
Ian at Geegeez has penned an excellent article covering the story. Read it here...
