Good afternoon and a very warm welcome to the first day of Visit Malta Hungerford Weekend, featuring Tinie Tempah live after racing. To begin, I would like to extend my thanks to today’s sponsors: Chapel Down, TPT Fire, St Michael’s Hospice, the European Breeders’ Fund, BetVictor, Highclere Horse Feeds, Christopher Smith Associates, ARO Racing, and the title partner of the weekend, Visit Malta. Courtesy of Visit Malta’s generosity, one lucky racegoer will win a dream holiday to Malta today. More information on the prize draw is included later in the racecard and the fact you are reading this means you are likely already included in the draw, best of luck! We have a new race on today’s card, the £40,000 BetVictor EBF Fillies’ Conditions Stakes for two-year-olds over six furlongs. Five of the six runners won last time out, so we should be in for a competitive race, which is due off at 4:45pm. William Buick’s Sorrengail, won nicely at Ascot last time and holds some notable entries, including the Rockfel Stakes (Group 2) and the Cheveley Park Stakes (Group 1) at Newmarket for the Charlie Appleby and Godolphin team. The feature race on the card is the £50,000 Visit Malta St Hugh’s Stakes (Listed), which has attracted 13 runners. Last month’s Weatherbys Super Sprint runner-up, Angels Lane, trained by Henry Candy, will be hoping to go one better over the minimum five-furlong trip. There’s lots to be excited about this evening as we welcome Brit Awardwinning rapper and cultural icon Tinie Tempah to the Racecourse’s famous Party in the Paddock stage. Head to the Grandstand Enclosure after racing to enjoy this evening’s entertainment, with the show scheduled to start at approximately 7pm. Following tonight’s performance, we look forward to concluding our biggest ever summer of music tomorrow with multi-platinum singersongwriter Jessie J for the second day of the Visit Malta Hungerford Weekend. Tickets are available online and on the gate, priced from £49. Finally, thank you to all our racegoers for joining us today. We hope you enjoy your time with us and look forward to welcoming you back tomorrow for the second day of Visit Malta Hungerford Weekend. Shaun Hinds Chief Executive Newbury Racecourse 3

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
•
‘Each-way’ is when you place two bets in one: one for your
horse to come first. 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.
