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: The market should prove highly informative here but the vote goes to Charlie Appleby’s WORDS OF TRUTH who catches the eye on pedigree and represents a top yard Both Humidity and Cape Orator also hail from good yards and appeal on paper so could emerge as the main threats. Lohoobb, Morris Dancer and Domination are others to consider in an intriguing juvenile maiden.

Race Summary: SEA FORCE made a promising return when runner-up at Doncaster last month and can build on it here to get off the mark at the chief expense of Thirsk scorer Montpellier who rates a big threat despite conceding 7lb to Williiam Haggas’ son of Sea The Stars. Kaizen and Uniting both look to have better days ahead of them and appeal as the pick of the rest for minor honours.

Race Summary: A wide-open finale. AMANCIO won comfortably over hurdles at Chepstow recently for new trainer Faye Bramley and is nicely treated back on the Flat judged on the pick of last year’s form Nibras Gold made a winning return to the Flat for James Owen last month and a 3lb rise shouldn’t prevent another prominent showing from him. One Cool Dreamer, the mount of Oisin Murphy, and An Bradan Feasa are others to consider Dalton Park rates a potential improver in handicaps and needs a betting check.
The Horserace Betting Levy Board prize fund schemes provide for the estimated inclusion of £562,754 in ratecard and incremental prize money at this racecourse from 29th March to 22nd June 2025.
