HOW TO BET WITH A RACECOURSE BOOKMAKER

WAYS TO BET STRAIGHT

Win only

EACH WAY

A bookmaker taking each way bets will display the terms on which he/she accepts such bets on the top of his/her board. This is a bet for your selection to win or be placed.

STANDARD TERMS FOR EACH WAY BETTING

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

· Fewer than 5 runners – all to win

5-7 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2

· 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3

Handicaps with 12-15 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3

· Handicaps with 16 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

AWAY BETTING

Many bookmakers will also take bets at the other race meetings today. They offer a comprehensive service, including bets settled TAX FREE at Starting Price (S.P.)

BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE

At reduced odds you can back a horse and collect if it wins or runs second to the horse nominated by the bookmaker as favourite.

PLACING YOUR BET

Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS

If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a Stewards’ Enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration of Gambling on Tracks Ltd, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 60 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings.

Late pay claims should be sent to AGT, 3A Kings Hall,Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambridgeshire PE27 4WY.

Tel: 01480 499180

In the unlikely event that no independent bookmaker turns up to service either end of the racecourse (Bangor and Overton car parks), Bangor Sport will be able to service all betting requirements. Bangor Sport will offer to either ‘take the price’ or use the SP as a means of settling any bet. We will endeavour to show all races (including all those from away courses) on screens at either end of the course. If you have any queries, please ask a member of staff for help.

HHHHH Selected to win the race

HHHHI Good chance of being placed.

HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

16. Jockey’s Name. If there is a number next to the name, this indicates that the jockey can claim that amount in weight (lbs) off the stated riding weight

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

THE BIG JETAWAY has been in fine form over fences of late, having completed a double at this venue earlier in the month. Donald McCain’s gelding could take all the beating now reverting to the smaller obstacles, with 7lb received from chief threat The Galahad Kid potentially significant The son of Quest For Peace arrives on the back of a first success over hurdles at Stratford in July and cannot be taken lightly on his handicap bow. The returning No Anxiety completes the shortlist.

WIN: BIG JETAWAY

DANGER: THE GALAHAD KID

AL ZARAQAAN has proved a revelation since joining the Sam England yard and could maintain his unbeaten record over fences with a fifth consecutive success, despite a 4lb rise for his latest victory Sir Tivo is only 3lb higher than his Stratford triumph in July and should give the selection plenty to think about El Borracho has been mixing it on the level and over hurdles this season but shouldn’t be underestimated on the return to chasing, given his fine record of five wins from eight appearances over fences.

WIN: AL ZARAQAAN

DANGER: SIR TIVO

SLATE LANE landed the odds on stable debut in taking fashion at Cartmel in June and the handicapper may have let Emmet Mullins’ gelding in lightly on his opening bid in this sphere. The return to 2m7f proved a tonic for Camilla’s Choice here earlier in the month and an 8lb rise shouldn’t prevent a bold bid for a C&D double. The seven-year-old mare may emerge as the main danger to the selection, ahead of fellow last-time-out winner Champ Royal.

WIN: SLATE LANE

DANGER: CAMILLA’S CHOICE

FAROUK DE CHENEAU has clearly benefited from a change of scenery, having made it a hat-trick of victories with a wide-margin triumph at Newton Abbot, and, in his current vein of form, it is difficult to imagine a 6lb rise stopping him. Jesuitique returned to form when just denied over hurdles at Cartmel and is very much respected on his chasing bow Any News completes the shortlist based on his recent second at Uttoxeter

WIN: FAROUK DE CHENEAU

DANGER: JESUITIQUE

MAX OF STARS has shown a fine attitude for hurdling, winning twice at Newton Abbot in recent months, and the juvenile, who has used front-running tactics to best effect, makes plenty of appeal on her handicap bow Choirmaster held every chance when falling two out at Worcester and warrants a fair amount of respect, while others for the shortlist include McGowan’s Pass, who has been in consistent form of late, and Eagle’s Realm.

WIN: MAX OF STARS

DANGER: CHOIRMASTER

Gifted Angel stepped forward from his hurdling bow to score at Stratford at the beginning of the month. However, his jumping wasn’t particularly fluent and Tom Dascombe’s gelding will need to improve in that department now running against more experienced rivals. The vote, therefore, goes to GETAWAY TOM, who was only beaten a neck when bidding for a double at Newton Abbot last time and the five-year-old looks capable of getting back to winning ways off 4lb higher in this company Recent C&D winner Simply Red appeals most of the remainder

WIN: GETAWAY TOM

DANGER: GIFTED ANGEL

On Cloud Nine appeared to relish the step up to an extended 2m3f when landing a maiden hurdle here at the beginning of the month, but the Cloudings mare does have more on her plate now returning to this sphere off an 8lb higher mark than her sixthplaced effort at Worcester in July With that in mind, it may pay to take a chance on FLAT WHITE improving for a change of scenery now in the care of Dan Skelton, as she displayed enough ability on the level to suggest that she can make an impact in this sphere. Handicap debutant Teeceethree also enters calculations.

WIN: FLAT WHITE

DANGER: ON CLOUD NINE

POLICE ACADEMY made the perfect start for new connections at Uttoxeter last month and appears to be on a fair mark judged on past performances in handicap chases when with Oliver Sherwood. The six-year-old makes most appeal, with Never No Trouble appearing the selection’s biggest challenger. The daughter of Time Test has finished runner-up on her last three appearances in this sphere and her latest 1lb rise shouldn’t stop another decent effort.

In-form rivals Pollypockett and Maggie O round off the shortlist

WIN: POLICE ACADEMY

AL ZARAQAAN has made a fine start over fences for Sam England, completing a 4-timer with plenty to spare at Southwell 4 weeks ago, and a 4lb rise shouldn’t prevent a bold bid to maintain his 100% record over fences Highly-admirable pair Sir Tivo and El Borracho are obvious threats

Race Summary:

A few with chances but GETAWAY TOM’s form is on an upward curve since sent handicapping so he can defy a 4lb rise for his excellent Newton Abbot second and bounce back to winning ways. Simply Red is unbeaten round here so greatly feared despite having a career-high mark to overcome The handily-weighted Cabrakan is also firmly in the picture having not been seen to best effect at Market Rasen last time.

Race Summary:

Having pulled clear of the rest when going close at Windsor last week, SPARKED makes plenty of appeal off the same mark here with the drying ground a plus The consistent I’m Mable is feared most, albeit cases can also be made for Thank The Lord and Imperiousity. The veteran Boom The Groom needs a second look, too.
