NEIL ANDREWS

Award-winning sports presenter Neil Andrews has racing in his blood and he loves to play the ponies. Neil says: “These days I try to pick my race meetings carefully. I try to have a few good strikes at one meeting as opposed to getting involved every day.’’

Neil’s favourite bets are the Place Accumulator and the Swinger. In the PA, he takes a few permutations with different bankers, and he always tries to beat the favourite.

When he takes a Swinger he looks for good outsiders and combines them with his fancies.

His form factors are:

Class
“Look for good quality horses with moderate opposition.”

Pedigrees
“I follow the offspring of my favourite stallions.’’

Trainer/jockey combinations
“This is a vital factor. Mike de Kock and Weichong Marwing, for example, are potent together and can always be followed with confidence.
