Talking Horses: best bets for Friday’s card at Glorious Goodwood


Tony Curtis (3.00), the first horse out from the rail with an obvious chance and form with cut in the ground, is the pick in the big betting race of the day

The Group One action at this year’s Glorious Goodwood is now in the form book, and while there were five winning favourites on Thursday’s card, including Winter in the Nassau Stakes, there is still a good deal of punters’ money in the bookies’ satchels after two very difficult opening days.

Valuable and competitive handicaps are the centrepiece of the final cards on Friday and Saturday, offering a chance to recoup at least some of the losses, and the likelihood that most backers will end up digging a deeper hole. Friday’s Betfred Mile, though, does give the punters a chance because the draw, as so often, is likely to be crucial.
