Horse Racing Betting Tips: Could be Addeybb to remember if forecast rain arrives
WHILE most of the UK have been reaching for the sun cream this week, it could be a very different story over the weekend if the weather forecasters are to be believed.
Rain is expected at York and if it falls heavily the complexion of tomorrow’s Sky Bet York Stakes (3.15pm) will change completely.
If the heavens do open, it will be music to the ears of the connections of ADDEYBB who again showed at Royal Ascot how devastating he can be when he gets his favoured soft conditions.
The son of Pivotal put a decent field to bed impressively in the Wolferton Stakes and if the rain does arrive, he’ll be much shorter than the current 6/1, while if it doesn’t, he won’t run and you’ll get your money back.
Sir Michael Stoute won the inaugural running of this race in 2006 and many will fancy his Regal Reality here.
He has some solid form this season and is probably the right favourite, but he has shown his quirks on his last two starts at Sandown and on a big day like this at York, he could easily boil over.
My other fancy on the card comes in the opening Sky Bet ‘Get Knotted’ Handicap (2.05pm) where I’m hoping our old friend GET KNOTTED can make it four wins in a row at this meeting.
Michael Dods’ seven-year-old hasn’t been at his best this year, but has dropped down to a mark of 90, 5lbs less than he won off last year, and this has surely been the target all season.
This seven furlong trip at York is his perfect scenario and any rain that falls will only help.
He looks the best bet at 4/1 with Coral.
