Peter Moody’s Turnbull Stakes Tips

Champion trainer Peter Moody doesn’t have a runner in the Turnbull Stakes, but he is confident that he has found the winner at the juicy odds of $16! He has analysed the field and his complete 2020 Turnbull Stakes tips are now available. Winner – Dalasan It has been a while since Dalasan has won, but he has been racing at the highest level throughout his career and I think that he is the value runner in the Turnbull Stakes field. Jamie Kah is riding in unbelievable form at the moment and I think that she will really gel with this horse. Raquel Clark had a great record on him early in his career and I think Kah is a great booking. Dalasan has no pressure, will get a great run in transit and is nicely weighted. I liked the way that he found the line in the Makybe Diva Stakes and he gives me the impression that he will relish the step-up to 2000 metres. A few of his main dangers in this field have targets that are still a run or two away, while Dalasan is fourth-up and ready to pe

Peter Moody’s Epsom Handicap Tips

Champion trainer Peter Moody doesn’t have a runner in the Epsom Handicap, but he has found plenty of value in his tips for the Group 1 race. He has analysed the field and his complete 2020 Epsom Handicap tips are now available. Winner – Mister Sea Wolf Mister Sea Wolf is outstanding value at his current quote of $16 in Epsom Handicap betting. He upstaged a host of more fancied rivals to win the Chelmsford Stakes at Royal Randwick last start and I like the fact that Chris Waller has given him a barrier trial between race starts. A number of the other fancied runners have drawn poorly, while Mister Sea Wolf maps to get a lovely run in transit with Brenton Avdulla in the saddle. $16 is enormous overs. Bet Now: Mister Sea Wolf 2nd – Star Of The Seas Star Of The Seas has made a habit of finishing second in Group 1 races and I think that he will do the same in the Epsom Handicap this weekend. His runs in the Winx Stakes and the George Main Stakes were both full of merit, but he was

Odds on Which New York NFL Team Wins a Game First – Jets Favored, But Are Giants the Better Bet?

Odds have been released for who will win first between the New York Giants and New York Jets The Jets need to win this week, or else the Giants have a far more favorable schedule going forward Read on for analysis and the pick below For those wondering how much worse 2020 can get, consider rooting for either New York professional football team. Few had big aspirations for the Giants or Jets heading into this season, but three games into their respective campaigns, the question has become how low can these teams go? Both started with season total win projections set at 6.5 games, but that’s since slid for both after 0-3 starts. The Giants’ updated win total is now 4.5 and the Jets’ has dipped to 3.5. Perhaps the more relevant question for bettors in the meantime is which team will pick up a win first? Odds to Win First in 2020 Season: Jets vs Giants Team Odds New York Jets -300 New York Giants +200 Odds as of Sep. 30th. The unpredictability of this season ha
