HOW TO PLACE A BET
Place Your Bets
Betting is quite straightforward and can be fun - for as little as £2. There is no fool proof way of picking a winner; the odds and the racecard can give you a good guide but you can also have as much luck picking your horse by the name or colour of the silks.
Bet In Two Ways -
1. Betting with the tote - a quick, easy and friendly service. You’ll find tote betting points all around the racecourse and it will give you a better choice of bets with the lower minimum stake of £2. Look at the counters for the tote how to bet guides.

OLYMPUS POINT wasn’t quite able to progress from his promising debut effort when third at Haydock, but he sets the standard and could be ready to get off the mark this time around. A pair of once-raced colts head the list of potential dangers as they step up in trip, with Native Instinct feared most ahead of Springbok.

Race Description This race is a six furlongs maiden stakes for two-year-olds Maiden races provide a starting point for young horses that are yet to record a victory and most will be very lightly-raced or be making their racecourse debuts Previous experience can count for a lot when searching for the winner but well-bred or precocious juveniles are more than capable of landing the prize at the first time of asking.

Customers are reminded to retain all betting tickets until after “Weighed-in” has been announced, as payment will only be made on production of the original ticket.

Race Description Some races can often prove very popular with owners and trainers and as a result more horses are declared to run than the official safety limit allows for To avoid horses being denied a run which is obviously disappointing for connections, the British Horseracing Authority has allowed the previous race to be split into two divisions, with each contest carrying identical race conditions

Race Description This is a one mile and four furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 46 to 65. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than a lower rated rival As a guide, horses rated 40 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 130.

Race Description This is a five furlongs handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 61 to 80. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have run at least three times in a Flat race in Britain, or have run in no more than two Flat races run in Britain and won at least one of them. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap In simple terms a horse rated 75 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 70.

READY FREDDIE GO produced easily his best effort of the season when third at Redcar back in June, picked off late by a pair played late having been involved in a duel for the lead from the off. A 4-time C&D winner now operating 6lb below his last winning mark, he could be the answer equipped with first-time blinkers. Rock of England is another shaping up well and he’s fancied to pose the chief threat. Catch Cunningham and Khabib rate next best.

Race Description This is a seven furlongs handicap race for three-year-olds which have been rated from 61 to 80. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 6lb

After a comfortable success at Ripon in May, WOODLEIGH found only a pair of handicap debutants too strong at Haydock next time, so he is taken to leave his latest effort behind as he goes back up in trip. He is preferred to Modern Times, who isn’t taken lightly with the potential of more still to offer, while Smart Vision is also considered.

Race Description This is a one mile handicap race for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 49 to 68. Like most handicaps on the flat this race is also open to horses that are rated below that particular band. However, all handicaps stipulate a minimum weight and no runner can carry less than that, irrespective of how low their rating is This is often described as ‘running from out of the handicap’ and is considered a disadvantage

Dougies Dream at the foot of the weights and Copper and Five can also feature. Strongbowe also needs keeping an eye on.
