Four horses to bet on at Beverley, Salisbury, and Windsor on August 14, yielded a 4-4 result in yesterday's Lucky 15 bets
In the world of horse racing, there are several exciting opportunities for punters this week, with some familiar names and promising newcomers set to make their mark. Here's a roundup of the key contenders and their upcoming races.
Without Flaw Chases Course and Distance Hat-trick
Without Flaw, a consistent performer, is aiming for a course and distance hat-trick in the 3.47 race at Beverley. The horse has won two races in a week last month and is expected to continue performing well, despite a 3lb rise in weight.
Nakaaha, the Progressive Filly
Nakaaha, a filly that has won her last two races, is running in the 6.00 race at Windsor. She has improved significantly with the fitting of a hood and is considered very progressive. Nakaaha carries a 10lb penalty for her last win but is still 4lb well in here. The odds for Nakaaha stand at @4-1.
Ammes, a Contender to Note
Ammes, who won in May, is running in the 7.30 race at Windsor. Despite a 4lb rise for his last race, Ammes still warrants attention, given his better form in handicaps and his ability to run on well after traffic problems in his last race at Glorious Goodwood. The odds for Ammes are @3-1.
Orionis, the Salisbury Contender
In the 4.35 race at Salisbury, a filly named Orionis is running. Orionis hails from a stable that has won this race twice in six years and is considered to have a strong chance of winning. The horse maintained its progress with a running-on fourth behind Chilli Queen at Ascot and gets in here off an untouched mark.
The Lucky 15 Bet Opportunity
For those interested in a Lucky 15 bet, the four selections include Without Flaw, Nakaaha, Ammes, and Orionis. A Lucky 15 is a popular multiple bet among horseracing punters, consisting of 15 bets on four selections in different events. The bet includes four singles, six doubles, four trebles, and a fourfold accumulator.
To calculate the returns on a Lucky 15 bet, identify which selections win, calculate the returns from the winning bets, and sum all returns from winning bets to get the total return. The process is explained in detail here. Many bookmakers offer incentives to play the Lucky 15 bet, so it's worth shopping around for the best deals.
Using a Lucky 15 bet calculator online can simplify the process of calculating returns automatically based on your stake and odds for each selection. The Racing Post's Bet Calculator is a useful tool for managing Lucky 15 bets accurately.
