HOW TO BET WITH AN ON-COURSE BOOKMAKER 1. Pick your Racehorse, look around for the best odds on course, try to offer the correct stake money for your wager.

2. Ask the Bookmaker for your bet, name the horse, (the bookmaker won’t necessarily know it’s number). Listen to the bookmaker repeat your bet to his clerk, correct bookmaker if he makes a mistake and receive your Betting Ticket as a receipt for your bet.

3. Should your horse happen to win, present your betting ticket to the bookmaker, check your winnings.

4. Check with the bookmaker when placing a bet, the Place Terms. Place Betting, not all on course bookmakers accept each way bets, i.e. for a win or a place.

5. In the unlikely event of a dispute after adhering to this procedure, the bookmaker will tell the punter to approach the Ring Official, who will advise the racegoer as to his rights.

EACH WAY BETTING The RCA and the bookmaking association have agreed the following terms for all bookmakers offering each way betting on course.

NON-HANDICAPS 5 - 7 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2 8+ runners; One fifth the odds 1,2,3 HANDICAPS 5 - 7 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2 8 - 11 runners; One fifth the odds 1,2,3 12 - 15 runners; One quarter the odds 1,2,3 16+ runners; One quarter the odds 1,2,3,4 All bookmakers must display on their boards whether they are betting each way or to win only.

6. Some course bookmakers have minimum stakes. e.g.£1, £5 or £10 but small backers are catered for in the racecourse Betting Shops.

FAIRWAY CAFE Sometimes, you just need a quick snack or perhaps you fancy a full English breakfast roll?! Whatever it is, the Fairway Cafe is sure to have it. This Cafe is situated at the side of the Windsor Marquee and is more of a low-key affair. There are no frills here, just good food and a fully stocked, licensed bar.

You may just catch some of the grooms and trainers grabbing a bite here too...

Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Handicap Chase Weatherbys sponsor two of the races seven-race card, starting with the Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Handicap Chase, staged over an extended 2m4f.

Won last year by the Oliver Greenall-trained Evander, this year’s 0-130 contest has attracted just three runners, headed by Paul Nicholls’ Atholl Street.

Yet to win in two starts over fences, the free-going son of Jeremy won two hurdle races at Taunton last season, but hasn’t – as of yet – translated that form to chasing. Beaten in two three-runner races, he should appreciate conditions and an absence of 126 days suggests that all has not been right since.

It wouldn’t, therefore, be a huge shock to see him bounce back to form and he remains lightly-raced.

Fergal O’Brien’s hat-trick seeking Brief Ambition contested the Weatherbys Champion Bumper two years ago (finished 21st behind Ferny Hollow) and is unbeaten in two starts over fences. Twice a winner over hurdles, the son of Yeats – who is part-owned

by Harry Redknapp – made a successful transition to the larger obstacles at Kempton in November, before following up over today’s course-and-distance, in a match race, just 13 days later. Having jumped well on debut, he wasn’t quite as fluent last time, but he made all and was too strong for Ballinsker. He has also been off the track for 126 days.

The runner-up later finished third behind Muckamore at Leicester in February, when Nigel Twiston-Davies’ eight-year-old stayed on strongly over 2m6½f. He has since been beaten his current 4lbs higher mark and dropping in distance on better ground might not be ideal. He is, however, the most experienced (over fences) of the three runners.

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: An interesting little race. BRIEF AMBITION took well to chasing in the autumn and gets the nod to complete a hat-trick on his return. Atholl Street leaves the impression this slightly longer trip will play to his strengths and can follow him home.

We absolutely support the objectives of protecting vulnerable individuals from gambling-related harm, but it is imperative that any new legislation is proportionate, targeted and evidence-based and will not result in any unintended economic consequences to British horse racing.

As a supporter of horseracing, we urge you to make your MP aware that you do not want any future gambling regulation to affect your civil liberties and freedom to choose how you spend your time and money enjoying horseracing. Potential measures could include affordability checks and limits on how much you can stake and deposit.

Simply: 1. Visit racingtv.eaction.org.uk/GamblingReview 2. Enter your postcode to find your MP 3. Put your name to a prepared letter The process is straightforward and will take less than a minute to complete, but could make a real difference to the future of the sport.

PLAY SMARTER

Race Summary: REAL STEEL’s recent form figures admittedly make for grim reading but, competitive though this five-runner affair is, it would be one of the least taxing assignments that he has faced to date and the handicapper has given him a real chance.

The first-time cheekpieces and drying ground here are other potentially positive factors and, all things considered, he is worth chancing. Recent C&D winner Tide Times and Bobhopeornohope are feared most in that order of preference.

FOURTH RACE

If you have concerns about the integrity of British racing or the wellbeing of the sport’s participants, human or equine, please contact RaceWISE. Anonymous reporting.

weatherbysshop.co.uk Mares’ Handicap Hurdle There are also just a trio of runners in the weatherbysshop.co.uk Mares’ Handicap Hurdle, a class 3 event over an extended 2m5f. Another 0-130 contest, the weights are headed by the Harry Fry-trained Litterale Ci and the Dorset based handler has his string in fine form at present, evidenced by a treble at Newton Abbot on Friday. This daughter of Soldier Of Fortune – who sports the silks of JP McManus – is another returning from a short absence, with her having shown a distinct preference for better ground. Without a win over hurdles since September 2018 (has won twice over fences in the interim), this race might just put her right ahead of a spring/summer campaign.

Nicky Henderson’s Gran Luna looked an exciting prospect when winning a Newbury bumper just over two years ago and has won three times from seven starts over hurdles. The daughter of Spanish Moon won a handicap at the same Berkshire venue in late-December – off a 2lbs lower mark – and has twice since finished runner-up. A consistent sort, she might not have much up her sleeve in terms of her rating, but she is versatile in terms of ground and ought to give her running.

The novice Hillstar completes the line-up, for Stuart Edmunds and Ciaran Gethings. Having only made her racecourse debut in September of last year, she is the least-exposed of these and after three runs in bumpers (won once and finished third in Listed company), she has had just the two starts over hurdles. Runner-up on debut at Huntingdon, the well-bred daughter of Hillstar made no mistake at the same track last month, justifying cramped odds in a weak event. She will need to hurdle more fluently in this stronger company, but she is open to any amount of improvement and should certainly benefit from reverting to a sounder surface, with her three bumper runs coming on good ground.

Race Summary: Last year’s winner ZAMPARELLI is a viable alternative to probable favourite Wagner. The 10-y-o failed to fire on his latest start in this sphere in January, but subsequently warmed up for this with a good effort between the flags (second to the formerly smart hurdler/chaser and now prolific pointer Southfield Theatre) and he comes into his own during the spring. Bletchley Castle also warrants respect.

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-handicap 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.

For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.
