BET TING WITH THE BOOKMAKERS

DIFFERENT WAYS TO BET - WIN OR EACH-WAY

The two main types of bet are win and each-way. For win bets, your horse needs to win the race outright An each-way bet is effectively two bets – one for your horse to win and one for it to be placed. So a £2 each-way bet will cost £4 A bookmaker taking each-way bets will display the terms on which they accept such bets on their board. 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 3 runners - Win bets only, no places offered

• 3 or 4 runners

Win bets only Where a bookmaker wishes to depart from this default position they may offer place terms at 1/5 odds a place 1-2.

• 5 – 7 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2

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

• Handicaps with 12 to 15 runners (inclusive) – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3

• Handicaps with 16 to 21 runners (inclusive) – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3-4

• Handicaps with 22 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

PLACING YOUR BET

Shop around for the best odds When you have decided where to place your bet, state the number of your horse and the stake, for example “Number 4, £2 win” Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to their clerk and hand them your money. You will then be given an itemised receipt detailing your bet and potential winnings. You should keep this safe until you have heard ‘Weighedin’ announced after the race If your bet is successful, hand your ticket to the bookmaker and they will give you your winnings

Tote vs Starting Price?

We’ll pay whichever is better on win bets!

We’ll always pay at least SP on Win bets and if the Tote dividend is greater, we’ll pay out at that price. Tote.co.uk, Tote.ie, Tote App and selected UK racecourse customers only Promotion applies to Tote Win and win part of each way bets on all UK & Irish races, staking limits apply.

PLAY SMARTER

NIKHI looked a sure-fire winner when making a promising start at Ffos Las only to fail to land the odds at Hereford but she’s worth another chance here. Miss Lamb and Caithness also appeal as having better days ahead of them and they can chase home Peter Bowen’s filly in that order

PLAY SMARTER

Not nearly so competitive as the numbers suggest and DYSANIA is weighted to gain a first success after a run of encouraging efforts for his new yard. The Jad Factor showed promise on his debut in this sphere when third at Ayr and rates second best, wtih C&D winner Kildrum appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

PLAY SMARTER

HAD TO BE HUGO has races in him for sure and could be the way to go with this likely to be a stiff test for the trip. Point-winner Vandemere made an encouraging start over hurdles at Newcastle after a long time off and can improve, while market support for Quian, a smart stayer on the level on his day in Germany, would be interesting.

RACEHORSE & JOCKEY WELFARE

Hexham Racecourse employs veterinary surgeons whose sole responsibility it is to provide care to the horses throughout their time at the racecourse

In the event of an incident on the racecourse, any horse affected will receive immediate treatment from the Racecourse’s Veterinary team.

Qualified Paramedics and Doctors are also on hand in the case of any incident involving a jockey.

If any incident occurs during a race it is routine practice for screens to be erected around the horse or jockey receiving the treatment.

This is to allow the veterinary or medical personnel to make a safe and accurate diagnosis and so that they may perform any treatment in a private and calm environment.
