Horse Racing Selections for Saturday + Big Golf Update (Friday May 29, 2026)
It’s been an eventful week at Twister Tipster — and the headline from the golf is a big one.
J.J. Spaun leads the Charles Schwab Challenge at -10, with Ludvig Åberg joint 10th at -5. We had Spaun at 28/1 each way and Åberg as Pick of the Week at 8/1 going into the tournament — both are very much alive heading into the weekend at Colonial.
In the Austrian Alpine Open, Casey Jarvis is on the cut line at -2 and fighting to make the weekend. The ShopRite LPGA Classic gets underway today — Charley Hull and Robyn Choi are yet to tee off and fully live.
Saturday Racing — two picks:
🐴 Kodi Bear Light — 2.15 Beverley, 10/3, 1pt win Karl Burke’s two-year-olds have been in excellent form this season. Kodi Bear Light brings race experience to a field of largely unraced rivals — in early-season juvenile races that counts for a lot.
⭐ Crest of Fire — 3.45 Carlisle, 11/2 each way (5 places, 1/5 odds), 1pt each way The Silver Bowl was famously abandoned at Haydock last week after a hole appeared in the track — and this rescheduled renewal heads to Carlisle. Crest of Fire is our selection at 11/2 with 5 places on offer.

⛳ Charles Schwab Challenge — Colonial CC, Fort Worth TX (May 28-31)
Colonial Country Club is one of the PGA Tour’s most demanding tests. Tight, tree-lined fairways reward precision over power, and the small, firm greens put approach play front and centre. Our analysis points to players with elite iron games and solid putting — and we’ve landed on five plays this week.
—
**⭐ Pick of the Day: Ludvig Åberg — 8/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way + 1pt win*
Åberg is the standout of the week. His approach play is elite, his composure under pressure has been evident all season, and Colonial suits his game profile perfectly. The extra win stake reflects how strongly the model rates him. At 8/1 with 6 places available, this is the anchor of the card.
—
**Justin Thomas — 18/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
JT is a former winner at Colonial and knows this course inside out. Experience around tight, demanding tracks counts here, and his iron play remains one of the best on tour. 18/1 looks fair for a player with this level of pedigree at this venue.
—
**J.J. Spaun — 28/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
Spaun is one of the more underrated ball-strikers on tour and has been consistent this season. The model has him well-positioned at this course profile, and 28/1 represents good each-way value with 6 places on offer.
—
**Russell Henley — 33/1 each way, First Round Leader (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way — FRL market*
The First Round Leader play of the week. Henley is a steady, accurate ball-striker who starts tournaments well. The FRL market often delivers more value than the outright, and 33/1 in this field is generous.
—
**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Max Greyserman — 33/1 each way (10 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
Greyserman is this week’s big-price play. Strong approach stats — the most important metric at Colonial — and a game that suits tight, technical courses. 10 places at 33/1 is exceptional each-way coverage. The model has him around 13.5% chance of a top-10 finish. At those odds, this is the value play of the week.
—
**⚡ Glory Double: Russell Henley FRL + Russell Henley Outright — 389/1 (Spreadex / SportingIndex)**
*0.25pt each way*
A small interest in the Henley double — FRL combined with him going all the way. At 389/1 this is pure upside. Available as a combination at Spreadex and SportingIndex.
—
🏔️ Austrian Alpine Open — Kitzbühel (May 28-31) — BONUS DP WORLD TOUR PICKS
This week’s DP World Tour event takes place in the stunning Austrian Alps. Two plays from a competitive field.
—
**Casey Jarvis — 18/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
The South African youngster has a sharp iron game that suits this course profile. His approach stats are among the best in the DP World Tour field and 6 places at 18/1 gives strong each-way coverage. A player whose best golf is very much still ahead of him.
—
**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Marcel Siem — 125/1 each way (10 places, 1/5 odds)**
*0.5pt each way*
The big-price play of the week. An experienced German campaigner competing on home turf in the Alps — local knowledge and course feel can count for a lot in events like this. 10 places at 125/1 is a huge each-way bet at a tiny stake. The upside is enormous for a half-point investment.
—
🏌️♀️ ShopRite LPGA Classic — Seaview, New Jersey (May 29-31) — BONUS LPGA PICKS
A 54-hole event on the Bay Course at Seaview — a flat, links-influenced layout that rewards consistency and accuracy. Two picks from the women’s game this week.
—
**Charley Hull — 12/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
World No. 7 and the highest-ranked player in the field this week. Hull is a fan favourite and a genuine contender wherever she tees it up. Consistent, composed and perfectly capable of dominating a 54-hole event. Top of the market for a reason — and 12/1 looks fair for a player of her quality in this field.
—
**🎲 Dark Horse Alert: Robyn Choi — 60/1 each way (6 places, 1/5 odds)**
*1pt each way*
The Australian has been quietly posting consistent top-20 finishes on tour. 6 places at 60/1 is where the value is — her place odds at 1/5 work out at 12/1, which looks generous for a player with her level of consistency. One of the better each-way prices on the board this week.

Charley Hull
Coming This Week — Charles Schwab Picks Tomorrow, Weekend Racing Preview (Tuesday May 26, 2026)
Two things to look forward to this week.
Tomorrow we publish our Charles Schwab Challenge selections for Colonial Country Club (May 28-31). Tee times and weather conditions will be confirmed overnight and the analysis will be running in the morning. Colonial rewards precision over power — a very different test to last week’s CJ Cup, and a course profile our analysis tends to enjoy.
On the horse racing front, Saturday brings Class 2 action at both Chester and Beverley. Chester’s unique tight circuit and Beverley’s stiff track both throw up excellent each way opportunities. Selections will follow later in the week.

CJ Cup Analysis Delivers — Charles Schwab Challenge Preview
A positive week on the golf front, and one that demonstrated exactly what the Twister Tipster AI analysis is built to do.
CJ Cup Byron Nelson — Results
Si Woo Kim led the tournament from the front for most of the week. Our outright selection shot a stunning 60 in Round 2 to build a commanding lead, only to be pipped on the final day by a charging Wyndham Clark. Frustrating — but the each way place paid, and that’s +1.8pts on the outright.
Keith Mitchell’s First Round Leader each way selection landed beautifully — T4 after Round 18 with dead heat terms applying, but the place paid and returned +2.29pts.
The glory double — Mitchell FRL place combined with Kim outright place — also landed, returning nearly 6x the outlay from a small stake.
Jordan Spieth didn’t fire as hoped, but overall the CJ Cup was our best golf tournament of the season:
CJ Cup Byron Nelson — Final P/L: +4.55pts ✅
Charles Schwab Challenge — Preview
The PGA Tour moves to Colonial Country Club, Fort Worth, Texas for the Charles Schwab Challenge (May 28-31). This is one of the most prestigious non-major events on the calendar — a course that rewards precision and accuracy above raw power, with tight fairways and demanding par 70 layout that punishes wayward drivers.
A strong field has assembled, with Ludvig Aberg, Robert MacIntyre, Hideki Matsuyama and Justin Thomas among the headline names. Brooks Koepka has withdrawn. And notably — Keith Mitchell is back in the field fresh off his CJ Cup showing.
Our full selections for the Charles Schwab Challenge will be published on Wednesday once tee times and weather conditions are confirmed. That’s when the data delivers the clearest edge — as last week’s analysis proved.

Si Woo Kim
No Racing Selections Today — All Eyes on Si Woo Kim (Sunday May 24, 2026)
Taking a rest day from the racing card today, but there’s plenty to watch.
Si Woo Kim goes into the final round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with a two-shot lead over Wyndham Clark and Scottie Schefflier at -21. Our outright selection has led or co-led all week — a nerve-shredding final round awaits.
Full golf update, results and P&L tracker update to follow once the dust settles. Back tomorrow with the racing.

Saturday Update: Si Woo Kim Leads by Five + Two Bonus Selections for This Afternoon (Saturday May 23, 2026)
A quick update before the afternoon gets underway — because things are looking good.
Si Woo Kim shot a 60 in Round 2 of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and leads by five shots going into the weekend. Our outright selection is in pole position with two rounds to play, and the glory double place is very much alive. Full golf update to follow once the tournament concludes.
Closer to home, American Affair is the gamble of the day at Haydock ahead of the 3:30 Temple Stakes. We posted him at 10/1 this morning — he’s now as short as 6/1. If you moved early you got a significant price advantage. That race goes to post at 3:30, followed by the Irish 2000 Guineas at the Curragh at 3:40. Both selections are still live on the site.
Now — two more for this afternoon and evening.
Cartmel 4:30 — Halfway House Lad | 5/4
Trainer: James Moffatt | Jockey: Charlotte Jones
Won last time out at Hexham over 3 miles by five lengths as favourite, and he’s done nothing wrong throughout his career at this trip and ground. James Moffatt is a trainer who knows the northern tracks intimately and Charlotte Jones keeps the ride — straightforward continuity with a horse in form.
At 5/4 this is the most confident selection of the weekend — a horse who should go very close and is fairly priced at the top of the market.
Selection: 2pt win — 5/4
Salisbury 7:15 — Prince Of India | 5/1
Trainer: Marco Botti | Jockey: Marco Ghiani
Beaten a neck last time at Leicester as 10/3 favourite — desperately unlucky and a run that reads better than the result suggests. The draw advantage flag is also positive, conditions line up, and Marco Ghiani keeps the ride for Marco Botti’s yard.
Best price 5/1 is available if you shop around — worth taking over the 9/2 on offer elsewhere.
Selection: 1pt each way — 5/1

Our Golf Analysis Lands — Plus Three Weekend Selections Including the Irish 2000 Guineas (Friday May 22, 2026)
It’s been a promising week at Twister Tipster. Before we get into the weekend selections, a quick note on the golf — because our AI analysis has already delivered…
Keith Mitchell placed in the First Round Leader market at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, landing at T4 after the opening round. Dead heat terms applied but the place paid, and it’s a tidy return to open the tournament. Si Woo Kim also sits T4 after Round 1 — our outright selection is bang in contention with three rounds to play. More on that as the week unfolds.

Saturday 3:30 — Temple Stakes, Haydock
American Affair — 10/1 each way (4 places, 1/5 odds)
Trainer: J S Goldie | Jockey: P Mulrennan
The form book tells a simple and compelling story with American Affair. This is a horse who won at Group 1 level over 5 furlongs — the highest grade of flat racing — before connections tried him over further. The experiment didn’t work. A distant 10th at York over 6 furlongs last time can be completely forgiven; that trip found him out.
Now he comes back to 5 furlongs, the trip at which he is proven at the very top level. Paul Mulrennan takes the ride — a sharp booking for a northern track — and the market is already reflecting stable confidence with a significant range of prices available. The best price of 10/1 with four places paid represents real each way value against a field where the favourite is short enough to make the place market extremely competitive at the top.
Selection: 1pt each way — 10/1, 4 places, 1/5 odds. Check best available price before placing.
Saturday 3:40 — Irish 2000 Guineas (Group 1), The Curragh
Go Just Do It — 40/1 each way (3 places, 1/5 odds)
Trainer: Joseph O’Brien | Jockey: Dylan Browne McMonagle
The narrative around this selection is extraordinary. Go Just Do It is a son of Kingman — who won this exact race, the Irish 2000 Guineas, in 2014. Kingman’s son now lines up in the same Classic, and the miler pedigree could not be more obvious. His dam’s sire Lope De Vega adds the stamina for the step from 7 furlongs to a mile, making the trip a comfortable and well-supported progression.
His most recent run could not have been more impressive — sent off 8/13 favourite at Gowran Park, he beat Solana Beach by four lengths with plenty in the tank. He was doing it well within himself.
Dylan Browne McMonagle is in the saddle, one of the sharpest young jockeys operating in Ireland right now and a regular for trainer Joseph O’Brien. And here is where the story takes an extra twist — lining up against him is the 4/9 favourite Gstaad, trained by none other than Aidan O’Brien, Joseph’s father. Son versus father in a Classic, with the value sitting firmly on the younger O’Brien’s runner.
At 4/9, Gstaad is simply unbackable from an each way perspective. The place money in this race has to go on an outsider. At 40/1 with three places paid, Go Just Do It is exactly the type of longshot our analysis is designed to identify.
Selection: 1pt each way — 40/1, 3 places, 1/5 odds.
Sunday Morning — Yushun Himba (Japanese Oaks, Group 1), Tokyo
Alankar — 7/1 each way
Trainer: Takashi Saito | Bred: Northern Farm
For those who want to venture further afield on Sunday morning, the Japanese Oaks at Tokyo is a fascinating race — and it features a selection whose story mirrors our Irish Guineas pick almost exactly.
Alankar’s dam is Sinhalite, who won this very race in 2016. The daughter now lines up in the same Classic her mother won a decade ago. Her sire Epiphaneia won the Japan Cup over this exact 2400 metre Tokyo trip, and her damsire is the legendary Deep Impact — the most influential middle-distance sire in Japanese racing history. Every strand of her pedigree points to a horse who will relish stepping up to the classic distance.
Her form on the track supports the case. Unbeaten on debut and impressive in winning the Nojigiku Stakes before a creditable run in the prestigious Hanshin Juvenile Fillies G1. Trained by Takashi Saito and bred by Northern Farm, the gold standard operation in Japanese thoroughbred racing.
At 7/1, this is the most straightforward of our three weekend selections in terms of price — a horse with blue-chip Classic breeding running in the race her mother won.
Selection: 1pt each way — 7/1. Verify place terms with your provider before placing.
