Andy Newton’s Lay Of The Day Horse Racing Tip: SUNDAY 17th May 2026

6:15 Hamilton: MONTEZUMA

Jim Goldie runner that won two runs ago at Musselburgh, but failed to back that up off a 7lb higher mark next time.

Is up another pound here – so 8lbs higher than his last win and with that also coming over 5f, then has a bit to prove over today’s 6f trip too.

He’s tried this distance four times but is yet to score.

The Goldie yard have only had 4 winners in their last 34 too.

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).

    15:05 Stratford – Whatyouwaitingfor

    “Whatyouwaitingfor was consistent over hurdles for his previous yard. Only a 5yo, we sent him immediately over fences and while beaten a fair way, he has been in the money each time. If avoiding the jumping errors he made at Doncaster and Chepstow, he should be in contention at the finish.” Charlie Longsdon
