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: SAM BROWN has proved that he’s still a smart performer on his day this season, bumping into a rejuvenated rival when runner-up in the Veterans’ Final at Market Rasen, so he could be ready to resume winning ways after his fourth in a Grade 2 here last time. Anthony Honeyball looks to hold a strong hand in the race, with Gustavian next on the list ahead of Credo.

Betting Forecast: 2-1 Epinephrine (FR), 9-2 Tarbuck (GB), 5-1 U Cant Be Serious (IRE), Nap Hand (IRE), 7-1 Authentic Legacy (GB), 14-1 Razzle Dazzle Boy (IRE)

Race Summary: EPINEPHRINE left behind a considerate ﬁrst 2 runs for the stable when forging away in a well-run race at Kempton just over 3 weeks earlier and a 9lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent the follow up. Tarbuck won a much weaker handicap at Uttoxeter recently but had plenty in hand nonetheless and warrants respect in his follow-up bid, while the useful-looking Authentic Legacy shouldn’t be written off.

COLONEL J UPTON

Colonel ‘Jacky’ Upton was a jockey Club Inspector of National Hunt Courses and instigated many improvements on the fences and hurdles for the safety of horses and jockeys. He always ensured that the fences were ﬁrm but fair He was a great friend of Geoffrey Freer and many good ideas were discussed whilst they were walking around the racecourse.

He retired from the Jockey Club in the early sixties due to ill health and died soon after.

His son, Pat Upton was an amateur rider but gave up race-riding due to a very bad fall in 1971 He was also a trainer for 17 years, based near Lambourn.

Race Summary: BILLYTHEREALBIGRED is a really likeable type and going from strength to strength over fences so can quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Cheltenham second. Sandown-victor Vincenzo should ﬁnd this longer distance in his favour and is next on the list, while C&D scorer Saint Segal and in-form pair Kotmask and Kandoo Kid can all have a say too. Beau Balko completes the shortlist in this cracking handicap.

Race Summary: A decent race for the grade and while the testing ground should go some way to providing the stamina test that plenty of these are needing, there doesn’t appear to be much pace on. That won’t bother the highly-progressive LOVEDOSE who has sat close to the speed when winning 4 of his last 5 starts. He’s most interesting ahead of Ninth Loch, who’s shown plenty to suggest he’s capable of going close from this mark, while Go To War can’t be ruled out if recapturing the form of his stable debut.
