For those who have visited a horse racing track or two in order to watch a horse race, the sport is a very exciting one indeed. The sport is even much more exciting when you have something at stake on the potential outcome of the race, ie when you are betting on horses. You don’t […]

I am pleased to see the results from the Punchestown Guinness Gold Cup - Neptune Collonges in first, of course, comes as little surprise to those of us who’ve followed this horse throughout his career. Insider tips were all leaning on this favourite as the one to beat. The final results of the […]
