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.

Race Summary: QUEENSBURY BOY created a good impression when landing the odds on his recent hurdling debut at Doncaster and, with his smart bumper form suggesting he’ll go on to much better things, he could prove hard to beat under a penalty Nazare has shown plenty in 3 bumpers and is an interesting recruit to this sphere, while Ski Lodge and Captain Bellamy are others capable of having a say.

2024: MACLAINE 7 11 8 Harry Bannister 3-1 (Richard Bandey) 8 ran

Betting Forecast: 7-2 Muskoka (IRE), 9-2 Kikijo (FR), Sherborne (IRE), 7-1 Thor de Cerisy (FR), 17-2 Stormy Flight (IRE), 9-1 All Authorized (FR), 14-1 High Treason (GB), 18-1 The Boola Boss (IRE)

Race Summary: This is wide open but MUSKOKA can race off the same mark as when a very good Wincanton fourth last time out (form working out well) so could prove the way to go. Stormy Flight heads the list of dangers ahead of in-form trio Sherborne, Kikijo and High Treason.

2024: BUMPY JOHNSON (IRE) 8 12 2 Jack Tudor 11-1 (David Pipe) 10 ran

Betting Forecast: 9-2 Super Sabre Sam (GB), 7-1 Murphy’s Milan (IRE), 15-2 Kintail (GB), 10-1 Holokea (IRE), 12-1 I’m A Starman (GB), 14-1 Pachacuti (IRE), Valens Bruyee (IRE), 16-1 Glimpse of Gala (GB), 18-1 Stratton Oakmont (IRE), Mahler Moon (IRE), 20-1 Geturguccion (IRE), 25-1 Kissman (FR), 28-1 Jatiluwih (FR), 33-1 Patanita (IRE)

Race Summary: A few with chances but the lightly-raced MURPHY’S MILAN appeals as a likely improver now his stamina is drawn out on his handicap debut and he gets a conﬁdent vote for a yard among the winners. Super Sabre Sam could emerge as the chief threat now he also steps up in trip, although Valens Bruyee, Kintail and Mahler Moon also need shortlisting in this competitive handicap.
