BETTING EXPLAINED
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.

HALL LANE seemed suited by the more patient tactics when off the mark in this sphere at Market Rasen in July and he can defy a 2lb rise. Finn Lough was all the better for his chase debut when just collared at Warwick so is next best.

GOOD TOO: Following its run on 26/8/2024 it was reported that the horse was found to have bled.

PLAY SMARTER
NO QUESTIONS ASKED achieved enough in bumpers in the spring to think he’s a potentially useful novice hurdler and is preferred to Westerton, whose Flat ability suggests he could leave last month’s Stratford hurdle debut well behind. The returning Salt Rock may prove best of the remainder

A tricky claimer to dissect and with that in mind it could be worth chancing last year’s winner ALLBETSOFF He needs to shrug off a pair of distinctly lesser efforts but a return to more positive tactics can likely see Mark Walford’s 8-y-o in a much better light back down in class. Pak Army rates next best ahead of Forget The Way. The market can guide with Ankud.

PLAY SMARTER
In memory of former jockey, Macer Gifford
Born and raised in Huntingdon, Gifford won many big races during the 60’s and 70’s before sadly succumbing to motor neurone disease in 1985, at only 40 years old. Sarah Gifford describes Macer as ‘A sociable man, who loved people. He was very kind and was a gentleman’. Macer rode 231 winners, the highlight being his victory on Larbawn in the 1968 Whitbread Gold Cup.
Huntingdon Racecourse are delighted to be welcoming Sarah Gifford (Macer’s wife), Lara Gifford and Hettie Gifford (Macer’s daughters), and Sue Pond (Macer’s sister) today to celebrate his life and his love for racing.

JUST CHASING MAY is on the up and bumped into one at Soutwell recently, so he’s fancied to get back to winning ways at the possible expense of Orchestra, who was in good order when last seen in this sphere. Gwennie May Jem is very much one to note making his handicap debut from a mark that looks appealing based on pedigree/connections.
