Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number
Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.
‘To win’ is for your horse to come first.
‘Each-way’ is for your horse to come first or to be placed. It’s two bets, so ‘£2 each-way’ = £4 total bet.
Decide the amount – or stake – you are comfortable to bet.
Place your bet. There are different places to bet on course; The Tote, racecourse bookmakers, betting shop or online. Each option offers a different experience.
Collect. Once ‘Weighed-in’ has been announced, present your betting slip and collect any winnings.

MARCH OFTIME: Following its run on 11/7/2026 it was reported that the horse reared as the stalls opened.

TOO TOO DIVINE ran another promising race at Yarmouth 6 weeks ago and that form is now looking stronger than might have been expected so she’s probably the one to be on here. There is a bigger effort in HonkyTonk Girl and she’s feared most over Remi Mae.
