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.

A Global Icon in
Whether it is on the golfing greens, the tennis courts, the racecourse or even the high-seas, sponsorship and the support of international events has been an integral part of Dubai Duty Free’s marketing strategy since 1983. And more than just marketing the company itself, these sporting endeavors have also helped to propel global perception of the emirate.
The 2024 sporting ‘season’ began in January with the Hero Dubai Desert Classic which was won by Northern Irish player Rory McIlroy for the fourth time. As a patron sponsor of the tournament, Dubai Duty Free took part in the Pro-AM competition and entertained a number of guests in style at the Emirates Golf Club.
The 2024 Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships, which is owned and organised by Dubai Duty Free, went fantastically well.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the 31st anniversary of the Championships which took place from 18th February –2nd March was won by Jasmine Paolini and Ugo Humbert, who both claimed their maiden Dubai titles.
Much awareness is also created by the operation’s involvement in horse racing and Dubai Duty Free regularly flies the flag in the UK at Newbury Racecourse for the start of the flat race season with the Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials Weekend on 19th – 20th April.

Sports Sponsorship
The 30th June saw the 17th running of the prestigious Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby held at The Curragh Racecourse in Ireland, which offered a rich purse of €1.25 million. The race was won by Los Angeles, which is trained by Aidan O’Brien with Ryan Moore as the jockey.
Meanwhile, the world’s premier international jockeys’ challenge, the Dubai Duty Free Shergar Cup took place at Ascot Racecourse in August. Four teams representing Great Britain and Ireland, Europe, Rest of the World and The Ladies team competed in a thrilling six-race showdown, which was won by the latter for the second consecutive year
The airport retailer returned to Ireland as an official partner of the Amgen Irish Open, which was held at Royal Co Down in Northern Ireland in September
Also in September, the distinctive Dubai Duty Free branding is back at Newbury Racecourse for the two-day Dubai Duty Free International Weekend, which marks the season finale of the operation’s horseracing sponsorship in 2024.
Other sports to benefit from Dubai Duty Free’s support include the Dubai Premier Padel P1 and the Emirates Dubai 7S to name a few.

Race Summary: LIEBER POWER has been progressing well since upped in trip, splitting a pair who were ridden more prominently when runner-up at York last time, so he is taken to record a third win of the season this time around. Heading the list of dangers is Waxing Gibbous, who is respected with the potential of more still to offer, while Chillingham is also considered.

MILL REEF – THE IMMORTAL CHAMPION
The race which honours one of the greats of the turf, the legendary Mill Reef, stages its 51st running today.
The 6f contest, sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, has been a constant feature at Newbury since Mon Fils, trained by Richard Hannon snr, captured its inaugural running, going on to win the 2,000 Guineas the following year.
Mill Reef had recently been retired when the race was named after him. Then a four-year-old, he had been put on a path towards the 1972 Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe but he never made it to Longchamp a second time after suffering a career-ending injury on the gallops in Kingsclere, near Newbury, where he was trained by Ian Balding.
Yet by then his legacy was already sealed. A winner at the highest level over three seasons, his three-year-old campaign featured triumphs in the 1971 Derby, Eclipse Stakes, King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes and Arc, a sequence that has not been matched since.
His wins at two included the Gimcrack Stakes by ten lengths and Dewhurst Stakes by four. At Newbury he won the Greenham Stakes by four lengths to start favourite for the 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket and, after finishing second behind another great Brigadier Gerard, he was never defeated again.
Indeed, at the end of a year which included a six-length triumph in the King George and three length Arc victory, Mill Reef secured ‘Horse of the Year’ honours over Brigadier Gerard.
Ian Balding with the great Mill Reef at Park House Stables in Kingsclere.
Kept in training at four when a mooted rematch on the track with his great rival never materialised, Mill Reef won the Prix Ganay and Coronation Cup, which proved to be his final start.
Balding and Mellon combined to win the Mill Reef Stakes in 1982 when the brilliant Forest Flower, Europe’s top two-year-old filly that season, captured the prize. Balding was to win the race a second time with Firebreak 2001.
Mon Fils was one of four winners of the race for Hannon snr, the most by any trainer and a record he shares with Peter Walwyn. Pat Eddery is the most successful jockey, capturing the prize on five occasions.
The race has spawned numerous subsequent Group 1 winners including, during this century, Zafeen, Excellent Art, Dark Angel, Ribchester, who won the Al Shaqab Lockinge Stakes the following year, and Harry Angel.
Mill Reef (left), ridden by Geoff Lewis, wins the Derby at Epsom in 1971 comfortably by two lengths.

Race Summary: SHADOW OF LIGHT had subsequent Sirenia winner Symbol of Strength a place behind him in the Gimcrack and is taken to confirm his narrow superiority over Adrian Keatley’s charge. Andesite was over 5 lengths behind that pair in the Gimcrack but that was his first run since a debut success in May and it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke’s charge get a lot closer to them this time. Easy debut Pontefract scorer Powerful Glory is another fascinating contender.

Race Summary: Not much form to go on but Richard Hannon’s No Nay Never colt ONE MORE shaped well on his debut when running on into second at Kempton and can put that experience to good use here with Ryan Moore in the saddle. Newcomers Arctic Voyage (second choice) and The King’s Falcon both bring a fair bit of potential and could emerge as the main dangers, with Make You Smile another debutant to consider

North View got off the mark for the campaign partnered by Buick for the first time over C&D recently so heads up the dangers, while Amphius, Movie Maker and Noodle Mission all merit consideration, too. 1-2-3: 1.CITY OF YORK 2.NORTH VIEW 3.AMPHIUS
