HOW TO BET WITH A RACECOURSE BOOKMAKER
WAYS TO BET
STRAIGHT EACH WAY
Win only 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.

15. A guide to the horse’s recent form and star rating. Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:
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
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.
COURSE FACTS & STATS
A left-handed track of approximately one mile three furlongs in circumference. There are nine relatively easy fences per circuit and a run-in of 325 yards. Three tight turns make the course somewhat sharp in nature

BEST SELECTIONS ON THE DAY
FINE MARGIN has justified favouritism on each of his last two outings and he sets the standard for others to aim at with a rating of 128. The son of Solider Of Fortune is on an upward curve at present and doesn’t look like stopping anytime soon. Jumping Susie is in good form and finished a fair third at Tramore last month, so she looks the main threat. Home Sweet Highway is the pick of the remainder.
WIN: FINE MARGIN
EACHWAY: JUMPING SUSIE
HAWAII DU MESTIVEL bolted up in this grade at Fontwell on his latest outing and is hard to get away from. If Neil Mulholland’s seven-year-old can run anywhere near that form again, he could prove very difficult to beat Eagle’s Realm hit the crossbar at Stratford in July and could get into contention off 2lb higher, while Kopa Kilana can fight it out for the minor honours.
WIN: HAWAII DU MESTIVEL
EACHWAY: EAGLE’S REALM
Bergentown was denied by five lengths into second at Worcester in June and has to be respected off the same mark. However, he could come out second best to the hat-trick seeking TEN TEN TWENTY, who struck on soft ground at Uttoxeter on his latest outing and will have no issues with this quicker surface judged on his triumph at Market Rasen two starts ago. Last-time-out winner Jumping Jupiter is another to note.
WIN: TEN TEN TWENTY
EACHWAY: BERGENTOWN
RISKINTHEGROUND found the competition too hot in a premier handicap back in July, but Dan Skelton’s inmate had shown progressive form to land a hat-trick before that and can resume winning ways only 4lb higher than his latest success at Uttoxeter Baron De Midleton was winning off a higher mark last season and returns to the larger obstacles with solid claims, while Presentandcounting can be given a chance on his decent fourth at Perth in June.
WIN: RISKINTHEGROUND
EACHWAY: BARON DE MIDLETON
RESTANDBETHANKFUL regained the winning thread back over fences at Cartmel on his first start after a wind operation. He looks capable of defying a 3lb rise given the runner-up has subsequently boosted that form. Dream Jet finished well clear of the rest when second at Market Rasen and can feature once again, while Neigh Botha may well have finished closer than third at Worcester if not for a blunder three out
WIN: RESTANDBETHANKFUL
EACHWAY: DREAM JET
HARDY BOY arrives in fine form having built on a couple of good efforts over 2m4f to score with plenty left in the tank over this longer trip at Market Rasen. The seven-year-old can shrug off a 7lb rise in his current frame of mind and go in again. A runner-up at Market Rasen in July, Clararose looks worth another try over this distance and is less exposed than Finisk River, who went close at Worcester last week.
WIN: HARDY BOY
EACHWAY: CLARAROSE
GOT GREY was sent off a short-priced favourite on his stable debut for Dan Skelton at Stratford recently and readily got the job done. He’s 4lb well-in under a 7lb penalty and gets the vote to follow up. Footloose Man overcame jumping right throughout to score at Fontwell last week and warrants respect, for all he might not get away with similar antics today. Northern Rose, who has gone close on her last couple of hurdle starts, makes up the shortlist
WIN: GOT GREY
EACHWAY: FOOTLOOSE MAN
There didn’t appear to be any fluke about COTONEASTER’s 50/1 second on handicap debut at Uttoxeter and the winner of that race has franked the form by doubling up since. Ryan Potter’s mare is just 1lb higher and looks like the one they all have to beat Huit Reflets possibly didn’t handle the undulations of Cartmel last time and it would come as no surprise to see him bounce back to form, while Tropical Talent switches from fences off a workable mark.
WIN: COTONEASTER
EACHWAY: HUIT REFLETS

Race Summary:
Plenty in with a squeak for the longest race on the card but the suggestion is KNIGHT TEMPLAR, who made a winning start for new connections at Ffos Las last month and, upped further in trip, Robert Stephens’3-y-o is fancied to take his form up a notch. Second choice is Frankelian, who is the only filly in the line-up and should be suited by this extra distance sporting first-time headgear 3-time C&D winner Billy No Mates can edge out the consistent Desert Quest for third.

Race Summary:
There’s still an air of unfinished business about low-mileage 5-y-o AWAAL who shaped with plenty of promise on his reappearance (first home in his group) and as such, a 2lb ease in the weights looks generous. Bennetot arrives in excellent heart so is second choice, ahead of Classic.

18 Bangor Racecourse has enhanced Safety & Security measures to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency.
We employ professionally trained and experienced stewards who are located predominantly around the course and are identifiable by their uniform.
In the event of a situation that requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards.
The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember:
• Take your belongings with you;
• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.
