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

MY BOY CHRISTY was suited by the step up to 3m when runner-up again here last time and might be ready to land a first win. East Eagle was better than the result in fifth behind the selection on that occasion and could go well. Seeyainthesuninn left the impression this step up to around 3m could suit when staying on for third over 2 1/2m at Perth last month.

Harry Derham has won with 3 of the 5 runners he’s sent to Hexham from his Lambourn base and can enhance that strike rate with KATIE’S MELODY, who has been shaping up quite well over hurdles and a point win at the start of her career suggests she may do better again now chasing. Killybegs Jet Lady is respected after her good C&D second earlier in the month, while The Clonmel Kid can go well back down in grade.

THEWOODCORNER proved well suited by the step up to 2 1/2m when resuming winning ways at Ffos Las month and a 6lb higher mark doesn’t look enough to prevent the follow up, especially with further progress on the cards. Divilabother has shaped well on both starts since returning from a break and can go well again back down in trip, with Balboa and Sunset Hill others to consider

INTERCHANGEABLE isn’t a straightforward ride but has hinted on more than one occasion that he’s up to defying his reduced mark, so he’s well worth another chance down further in grade. Justus is another tumbling in the weights and must enter the reckoning, along with Fine Shot, who could still have more to offer for his new yard, especially back at around 2m.
