Saturday Afternoon Horse Racing Selections — 16 May 2026

Featured

Three selections across the afternoon and evening cards today, with a win play at Newbury and each-way value at Newmarket and Doncaster.

Albert Einstein — 3:10 Newbury — 9/4 WIN (1pt) The Moore/O’Brien combination always demands respect, and Albert Einstein has the form to back it up. Twice successful at 6f on good ground, he stepped up to 7f last month and ran a cracker — third of eight behind Alparslan, beaten just 1¾ lengths as the 9/4 favourite. Drop back to his optimum 6f trip looks like the move that unlocks a win today.

Silver Ghost — 2:50 Newmarket — 4/1 EW 4 places (1pt each way) Two wins at 7f on good ground and a solid course-and-distance run earlier this month — third of six behind Billyjoh, beaten 2¾ lengths at 7/1 on good to firm. Proven at the track, proven at the trip. At 4/1 each-way with four places on offer, the value is there.

Lorna B — 6:38 Doncaster — 5/1 EW 4 places (1pt each way) Three wins across good, good to soft and all-weather surfaces at 6f. Latest run was September last year when fifth of 16 at Thirsk at 9/1, beaten 2¾ lengths behind Eternal Sunshine. Seasonal return to watch, and 5/1 each-way with four places on offer is a fair price.

All selections 1pt unless stated. Each-way = win and place. Bet Responsibly — 18+
