Thursdays Betting at Glorious Goodwood

Day three of the Glorious Goodwood race meet gets underway today with the first race at 2.15pm.

The Moet Hennessy Fillies Stakes (registered as Lillie Langtry Stakes) takes the Group 3, Class 1 horses on a 1 mile 6 furlong race. The horse which is favourite to win this race is Folk Opera, which also sees many tips. Currently the best odds are 11/4 available from Sporting Bet. 2nd Favourite, High Calypso is being ridden by Ryan Moore, and has odds to match Folk Opera at most bookies, however Sporting Bet are offering slightly better odds at 14/5.

As to which of these horses is likely to win, I think based on form alone Folk Opera will take the win. High Calyso’s form has been weak of late, and the wins she has under her belt were from last season.

Best Odds for the 2.15 at Glorious Goodwood

At 2.50 we have the Audi Stakes (registered as the King George stakes) which is another Group 3 class 1 race, this time over 5 furlongs.

The favourite is Dandy Man which is being ridden by Dettori. Best odds for Dandy Man are 5/2 currently with Sporting Bet or Ladbrokes. For me, he is inconsistent, which is putting me off, if he puts in a good performance he should win, however this is not guaranteed with this horse.

Not dismissing Masta Plasta (9/2 at Paddy Power), but my money will be going with Befortyfour (12/1 at Sporting Bet), it’s had a good series of runs this year so far, and will favour the ground this time around.

Best Odds for the 2.50 at Glorious Goodwood

The feature race for today’s meet is the 3.30 Goodwood Cup. A Group Two Class one Race over 2 miles. The field has narrowed a little for this race with two non-runners announced (Allegretto and Mad Rush). The favourite is the powerhouse horse Yeats (best odds 4/6 at Sporting Bet). Not only on top form, but has real staying power for this massive distance. Other horses to watch out for are Honolulu (5/1 Sporting Bet) could be a contender if it has a good run; Distinction is the other one to watch, improving form, and being ridden by it’s favoured jockey, Ryan Moore.

Best Odds for the 3.30 Goodwod Cup

The 4.05 Marjorie and Bernard Benham Emerald Anniversary Stakes sees Military Power trying to continue his excellent form. Best odds for this horse is currently with Sporting Bet at 11/2. Khateeb, 2nd favourite is running at top weight for this race, however has been lightly raced, and has more to give, so shouldn’t be discounted. For me, I think Indian Days is worth a punt. Indian Days has been showing much improved efforts, and is likely to turn out another bold race, it seemingly enjoys the distance and is not troubled by the going. The best odds for Indian Days is currently 10/12 with skybet.

Best Odds for the 4.05 at Goodwood
