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.

FIVEFAMOUSWINNERS OFTHEBOYLESPORTSLOCKINGESTAKES
PALL MALL (1958)
The winner of the first running of the Lockinge Stakes cemented an enduring association between his owner Queen Elizabeth II and Newbury Racecourse, which she continued to visit annually. Pall Mall won the race just weeks after springing an upset to land the 2,000 Guineas. He became the first of only three dual winners when gaining a second Lockinge victory in 1959.
FRANKEL (2012)
BRIGADIER GERARD (1972)
One of the greatest racehorses ever tocompete in Britain graced Newbury in 1972 when he began his four-year-old campaign with a comfortable defeat of Grey Mirage in the Lockinge He remained unbeaten until August that year when he suffered the one and only defeat of a brilliant 18 race career at the hands of Roberto in the International Stakes at York.

It was the first of five Group 1 successes in 2012 which ended at Ascot in theChampionStakesbeforehewasretiredtostud with a perfect record of 14 victories.
