How To Bet
There are plenty of ways to bet at Newbury – you can either bet with the bookmakers in the ‘ring’ in front of the Grandstand and the Crafty Filly, at one of the many Totepool kiosks or in one of our Betting Shops, located on the ground floor of the Dubai Duty Free Grandstand and the Berkshire Stand. Here’s a step-by-step guide of what to do:
1. Select your horse and note its name and racecard number.
2. Choose your bet –‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are the two most common types:
• ‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
• ‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your horse to come first, the other for it to be placed. Therefore £2 each-way = £4 total bet.
• What qualifies as a ‘place’ depends on the number of runners: between two and four runners - first place only; between five and seven runners - first and second place; eight runners and over - first three places; 16 runners and over (handicaps only) - first four places.
• The place part of the bet will be paid out at a fraction of the odds, usually a quarter or a fifth - this varies depending on the bookmaker, so check if you are unsure!
3. Decide the amount, also known as the stake that you are comfortable to bet.
4. Choose your outlet and place your bet e.g. “£2 win on number three” or “£2 each-way on number six”.
5. If your horse has won, wait to hear “weighed in” over the public address system and then go and collect any winnings!
6. Got so swept up you forgot to collect your cash? There are details of how to collect winning slips after the raceday on our terms and conditions page near the back of the racecard.

Race Summary: HANDCUFFED makes plenty of appeal on paper for a stable going well with its 2-y-os, so she earns the tentative vote before market clues.

Race Summary: There were plenty of positives to take from KING OF BEARS C&D debut in May, for all that he failed to justify favouritism. The son of Kodi Bear will be more street-wise this time and he could be the answer Chelsea Embankment left his low-key debut behind when third at Salisbury last month and looks a big threat, while I Maximus and Spell Master are two newcomers to note in the betting. 1-2-3: 1.KING OF BEARS (IRE) 2.CHELSEA EMBANKMENT (IRE) 3.I

Race Summary: If able to build on her recent second over this C&D, RED MAIDS could prove to be the answer to what looks a rather trappy handicap. Hat Toss failed to fire last time but he showed enough prior to that to suggest that his turn is near, while Woodstock also merits respect.
