‘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.

ERIC JONES MEMORIAL
RACE MEETING - 2ND MARCH 2025
A TRIBUTE FROM HIS RACING FRIENDS
When I first met Eric, approximately in mid 1990’s I could never have imagined how lucky I was to be sharing in his company forthe following 30 years or so.
Our immediate common interest was sport and horse racing in particular, over the years and we spent hundreds of hours watching racing together at many different courses and on various racing tours.
One highlight for me was our first Punchestown festival when we were joined by several friends, hired a large car at Dublin Airport and had the most incredible week, to be repeated many times over the following 25 years. I remember that at the end of the “tour” we were heading to a fish restaurant, on a beautiful sunny day along the Dublin coast, all singing the worst ever rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody, as it played on the radio
The Goodwood Festival was always memorable too, which usually coincided with Eric’s birthday so we had to pick our days so that he could enjoy his birthday with Molly too…we always ended up at the same Indian restaurant after a day’s racing and thus became regulars even it was only once a year!
Eric was a keen member of the Wellingborough Old Grammarians Racing Tours and was a regular attendee of the Northern and Southern Tours and only at the last minute did he decide that he was not well enough to join us.
It was whilst his friends were on this last tour that we all decided that an Eric Jones Memorial Meeting was something that we would like to arrange to celebrate all of the good times that we had spent in his company - and as the result of our joint selections during the tour we won sufficient funds to start the work involved in putting together this event.
The last winner in our bus bet was at Cheltenham and was a horse called Abuffalosoldier who won in incredible style, one of the best rounds of jumping that you will ever see and then tragically suffered heart failure once he got over the finishing line, which is why the hosting for today is in the name of Abuffalosoldier In Memory Of Eric Jones.
As Eric slowly increased his ownership of horses he was so generous with his offers to his wide circle of friends to join him either at the stables or on course, enjoying the hospitality on offer from the owners and trainers enclosures..
When Eric became ill he still had the same passion for racing and on several occasions a few of his friends were invited to go over to his house and watch the racing at his bedside with him which we all deemed to be our privilege.
Eric was humble, gregarious, funny and most important of all our dear friendwhoever met him was affected by him in a positive way as he was such a larger than life personality - his generosity was as big as his amazing heart.
With love from his racing buddies and our absent friends wherever they may be…

MISTER BARCLAY: Following its run on 8/2/2025 it was reported that the horse never travelled and made errors.
MISTER BARCLAY wasn’t at his best when fifth over fences at Uttoxeter last time out but this likeable sort can bounce back and capitalise on a lenient mark returned to the smaller obstacles. Recent C&D scorer Cluain Aodha rates the obvious threat, although in-form duo Musique de Fee and Jassur des Brosses need factoring in too.

THE JOHN BIGG “OXO” HANDICAP CHASE
The feature race on today’s card is the John Bigg “Oxo” Handicap Chase, named after the 1959 Grand National winner.
Oxo, a bay gelding, was bred in Dorset by Mr A C Wyatt and foaled in 1951. His pedigree was more akin to a Flat horse. He was by Bobsleigh out of Patum and was a half-brother to the 1954 Chester Cup winner Peperium. He was also from the same family as the 1958 Derby winner Hard Ridden. He was sold for 400gns as a yearling to Mr Geoffrey Mason, a Norfolk farmer
Being backward and overgrown, he was not trained seriously in his younger days Mason sent him hunting, ridden by his son Peter, who won two point-to-points on him at Cottenham in October 1957 When increasing weight forced the son to give up race-riding, Oxo was sold to Bedfordshire farmer John Bigg at Newmarket’s 1957 Second October Sales for 3,200gns, which was considered a huge price at the time and is equivalent to approximately £81,600 today.
Bigg sent Oxo to Willie Stephenson, who trained at nearby Royston and had won the 1951 Derby with Arctic Prince and the Champion Hurdle three years running with Sir Ken (1952/53/54).
Oxo made an instant impact, winning two novice chases at Nottingham and Kempton early in 1958.
Prior to running in the 1959 Grand National he’d won two races that season, at Lingfield and Kempton in December 1958.
A field of thirty-four lined-up at Aintree on Saturday 21st March, where the ground was described as “good” Oxo was sent off 8/1 second favourite behind 6/1 shot Mr What, who had won the National the previous year He was prominent from Becher’s Brook on the second circuit, staying on strongly under Michael Scudamore, father of Peter, grandfather of Tom and Michael, to deny Wyndburgh, who was ridden for the last mile without irons by champion jockey Tim Brookshaw. John Bigg won £1,000 from a local bookmaker for a £30 stake. He also coupled Oxo in a double with Luton to win the FA Cup and he was crowned leading owner of the 1958/59 season.
Wyndburgh and fourth-placed Tiberetta (dam of 1969 Hennessy Gold Cup winner Spanish Steps) were both finishing in the places for the third consecutive year whilst Mr What was third again in the 1962 Grand National.
Unfortunately, Oxo broke down while being prepared for the 1960 Grand National. He never won another race but returned to Aintree to finish third in the 1960 Becher Chase, beaten less than a length. He was pulled up at Becher’s second time on his only other Grand National run in 1961.
Seven months later, and still at the relatively young age of 10, Oxo ran his last race on Saturday 21 October in the 3m 200yds Ermine Street Handicap Chase here at Huntingdon. He was pulled up
In March 1971, thieves broke into John Bigg’s home at Godmanchester and got away with silverware and three paintings. However, they missed the solid gold Grand National trophy worth £1,500 which was in John’s bedroom where his dog lay asleep We are thrilled that the original Grand National trophy will be presented to the owners of today’s winner
In 1994, John - then aged 92 - was still actively involved in racing and had a half share with Rugeley trainer Reg Hollinshead in the colt Arc Bright which Frankie Dettori rode to success for them at Wolverhampton that January.
