Sometimes I have the time to write up a few of the bets I place in various horse racing markets around the world. Here are nine horses I think are worth a look. I have focused on horses being ridden by course specialist of the jockey kind.

Remember, don't bother with multiple bets if you're wanting to be a serious player one day, cheers, Sandracer.

Sandracer Comment:

I have mapped out the Riccarton Park Synthetic All Weather racing card for Jack Taplin ~ he has a 20%+ strike rate here ~ he is booked for 7 rides across the 9 race card.

However, looking at the early market data and track history, we can narrow this down significantly. There are 3 key standouts where the jockey-to-horse combination carries real weight, while the other Taplin rides are up against it.

The 3 Big Bets to Target

  1. Murch (Race 6): A massive positive indicator here is that Murch has been officially selected as one of the Cure Kids Charity Colours representatives for Red Nose Raceday. He is a highly consistent runner on the polytrack and sits right near the top of the Racing and Sports Speed Maps.
  2. Powerofpersuasion (Race 7): This is our best bet on the card. Taplin has a great partnership with this Terri Rae-trained mare, having already ridden her to a win in the Entain/NZB Insurance Pearl Series over winter. She opens as the 2/1 market favourite and looks primed to take out the Benchmark 75.
  3. Correction (Race 8): This horse handles the synthetic track well and represents a solid option for a third bet, sliding into an achievable Benchmark 65 handicap.

Why the Rest are Fades (❌)

  • Gap It (Race 3): Opened as a massive 50/1 outsider. A very low-chance maiden bet.
  • Ekstatique (Race 2), Movie Girl (Race 5), Runninwiththedevil (Race 9): These horses are filling out the lower rungs of the field and are primarily running to gain fitness rather than carrying strong winning form.

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code ~ Mon July 13 2026

Cracking The Lingfield AW Code

❖ Monday July 13 2026

❖ We Study The Racing Stats @ The Adrian Massey.com Horse Racing Database

Lingfield AW Code Breaker

Tonight's AW meeting comes from Leafy Lingfield. An eight race card with four handicaps, three classifieds and a one maiden race to watch.

I will be looking to Crack The Lingfield All Weather code in as few words as possible.


Jockeys ❖ Today I'm concentrating on the youngster and 3lb claimer Jack Callan 𝕏. He has five rides booked.


Trainers ❖ No particular trainer catches my eye for today's afternoon meeting.


Draw Bias ❖ No draw bias at Lingfield worthy of note. You want decent jockeys at Lingfield, not an inside or outside draw etc.


Bet Selection Considerations

  • ❖ Check out all of the Jack Callan runners in the handicaps very closely.
  • ❖ Also beware anything that has been thrown into a race with a clear and obvious advantage.

Lingfield AW Jockey Runners

Jockey JACK CALLAN (3lb)

  • Date | Race | Type | Distance | Trainer | HORSE | ✅ Denotes Selection |
  • 13 Jul 2026 5:10 Lingfield Handicap 7f KING OF MONTENEGRO BRIAN MEEHAN
  • 13 Jul 2026 5:40 Lingfield Handicap 1m 5f SENOR CORTEZ JOHN BUTLER
  • 13 Jul 2026 6:40 Lingfield Handicap 7f SPLIT ELEVENS JOHN BUTLER ✅
  • 13 Jul 2026 7:10 Lingfield Handicap 6f SYDNEY ROCK OLIVER COLE
  • 13 Jul 2026 8:40 Lingfield Stakes 1m 4f LILYKOY DYLAN CUNHA ✅

Lingfield Betting Analysis

6:40 Lingfield ❖ 1m 5f C5 Hcp ❖ Split Elevens (11/2) looks good for his 4th C&D win. A little bit overpriced in my book.


6:40 Lingfield ~ Win Bet: 11/2 Split Elevens (Non Runner)


8:40 Lingfield ❖ 1m 4f Classified C6 ❖ Lilykoy (28/1) drops to classified company for the first time. I've noted a modicum ability previously. With Callan claiming a handy 3lb, I see a possible suprise in the offing. You may well get 50/1+ on the exchanges. Small stakes, win only will be my play.
