Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: Saturday 9th May 2026

6:25 Leicester: EMPEROR CARADOC

Trappy little race with only six runners and most have a squeak.

The pick was a good winner last time out at Thirsk in a better race – but is up 3lbs for that and in this lower grade has 8lbs more in racing weight to carry.

This will also be his 41st run today, but is yet to score off a mark this high, so will this Paul Midgley runner will need a career-best to take this.

Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).

14:40 Lingfield Park Royal Velvet

“After her terrific win at Newmarket, Royal Velvet is in good nick and has been training well. Lingfield can be a bit “tracky” so I hope they don’t all cram across to the near rail which won’t help her, but the distance and ground are ideal. A great opportunity to add a Group 3 win to her excellent record.” WILLIAM BUICK
