Saturday's racing picks at Ascot, Haydock, and Redcar: Suggested horses to wager on in the Spotlight Lucky 15 event
In the world of horse racing, the Lucky 15 bet is a popular multiple bet among punters. This bet consists of 15 bets on four selections in different events, offering a chance to spread risk and potential rewards over multiple outcomes simultaneously.
The structure of a Lucky 15 includes four singles (individual selections), six doubles (pairs of selections), four trebles (triples of selections), and one four-fold accumulator (all four selections together). The total number of bets is 15. To place a Lucky 15, you would multiply your chosen unit stake by 15, ensuring a total stake that reflects all 15 bets.
One of the key advantages of a Lucky 15 is that at least one winner guarantees a return, thanks to the single bets included. Returns grow significantly if more selections win, up to all 15 bets paying out if all selections win.
Now, let's take a look at some of today's horse racing picks:
- La Vita Nova, a 4yo filly, is running at 2.10 Ascot with odds of 4-1. This filly may have more to offer on her return to 2m, having been handicapped this season and placing twice in big fields at the Curragh (1m6f/2m) before her good third of five at Down Royal (1m5f), all on good ground.
- Tenacity is currently priced at 6-4 for the 3.55 Ascot race. This horse has won his last two starts, with the tongue tie on for both races. He won a novice race at Windsor and a seven-runner handicap at Ascot, both on good ground.
- Eeetee is currently priced at 9-2 for the 3.12 Redcar race. This horse won at Redcar over this distance in June, and is well treated on the pick of last year's form. Eeetee was well handled by Jack Nicholls in his last win at Redcar.
- Tropical Heat is currently priced at 9-4 for the 4.45 Haydock race. This horse has shown improved performance since moving up to 7f, finishing second at Haydock and then winning at Sandown. Cheekpieces are being added to Tropical Heat for today's race, and he finished neck second at Haydock and then went one better at Sandown, also on good ground.
