Bath Racecourse plays host to a competitive card this Saturday, and Freebets.com is proud to be sponsoring one of the feature races on the afternoon's Horse Racing schedule.
Our team has picked through Saturday 12th September's runners and riders, with the best free bets to back your fancy, all in one place alongside the best betting sites for the weekend's racing.
The Best Betting Sites at Freebets.com Maiden over 10f at Bath Racecourse on Saturday afternoon is restricted to juveniles who have yet to win in three starts or less. It has attracted a competitive field of fourteen, with many of the top yards represented.
Able Tasman, as the name suggests, is the son of Derby winner Australia and comes from a stamina-laden pedigree. He will get 12f and more next term, but I thought he ran well when third at Lingfield over 7f on his debut at the end of May.
He was beaten the best part of 6l at Lingfield, but this additional furlong will see him in a much better light. A half-brother to four winners, his 100+ absence from the course is a slight concern, but the Watson yard have had four winners from their last eighteen runners (22%) in the last fortnight. The market should provide valuable clues as to stable expectations, but I thought he ran with considerable promise back in the spring and is a must for the shortlist.
The vote goes to BAARBERINI for James Horton, who makes his turf debut having finished in the frame in both starts on the all-weather. He was due to run in a Group 3 in Germany at the beginning of the month but was taken out, presumably on account of the soft ground.
He was sent off an odds-on favourite at Southwell last time, but had to settle for second behind Kodiac City of Richard Hughes. The winner has since run well in defeat in a Sandown Group 3, and Horton has had Danny Muscutt booked for the ride since the entries were revealed on Monday.
Horton has entered the selection in the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket in a fortnight's time. He will have to win or go very close on Saturday, or that entry will be made to look decidedly fanciful.
