HOW TO BET WITH A RACECOURSE BOOKMAKER

WAYS TO BET

STRAIGHT EACH WAY

Win only A bookmaker taking each way bets will display the terms on which he/she accepts such bets on the top of his/her board. This is a bet for your selection to win or be placed.

STANDARD TERMS FOR EACH WAY BETTING

In conjunction with The RCA, the bookmakers have introduced standard each-way terms. Bookmakers will provide these terms, or better, when offering each-way betting.

· Fewer than 5 runners – all to win

5-7 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2

· 8 or more runners – 1/5 odds a place 1-2-3

Handicaps with 12-15 runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3

· Handicaps with 16 or more runners – 1/4 odds a place 1-2-3-4

AWAY BETTING

Many bookmakers will also take bets at the other race meetings today. They offer a comprehensive service, including bets settled TAX FREE at Starting Price (S.P.)

BETTING WITHOUT THE FAVOURITE

At reduced odds you can back a horse and collect if it wins or runs second to the horse nominated by the bookmaker as favourite.

PLACING YOUR BET

Shop around for the best odds against your selection. When you have decided on where to place your bet, state the number of your chosen horse and the stake, for example “number 4, £2 win”. Listen to the bookmaker repeat the number of the horse and the stake to his/her clerk and hand your stake to the bookmaker You will then be given an itemised receipt that gives details of the bet and shows potential winnings. You should keep this ticket safe.

COLLECTING YOUR WINNINGS

If your selection wins (or, in the case of a place bet, is placed), hand the ticket back to the bookmaker for settlement. NEVER destroy your ticket until after the “Weighed In” announcement has been made. There may still be a Stewards’ Enquiry and the first past the post, or placed horses, may be disqualified. On rare occasions even the horse coming fourth has been awarded the race You may bet with confidence with any bookmaker as they have all been approved by the Administration of Gambling on Tracks Ltd, which administers the betting rings at each of Britain’s 60 racecourses. The AGT also offers a full late pay service, in case a bookmaker leaves the course before you have collected your winnings. Late pay claims should be sent to AGT, 3A Kings Hall, Parsons Green, St Ives, Cambridgeshire PE27 4WY.

Tel: 01480 499180

In the unlikely event that no independent bookmaker turns up to service either end of the racecourse (Bangor and Overton car parks), Bangor Sport will be able to service all betting requirements. Bangor Sport will offer to either ‘take the price’ or use the SP as a means of settling any bet. We will endeavour to show all races (including all those from away courses) on screens at either end of the course. If you have any queries, please ask a member of staff for help.

C - The horse has won on this racecourse

D - The horse has won over this distance

CD - The horse has won over both this course and distance

BF - The horse was a beaten favourite on its last run

15. A guide to the horse’s recent form and star rating. Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below:

HHHHH Selected to win the race.

HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims

HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope.

HIIII Can be given little or no chance.

16. Jockey’s Name. If there is a number next to the name, this indicates that the jockey can claim that amount in weight (lbs) off the stated riding weight

The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability

The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances).

The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

BEST SELECTIONS ON THE DAY

Fortune Dancer has proved a revelation since making her handicap/chase debut at Fontwell in early November and a four-timer cannot be dismissed. A 6lb rise for her latest victory at Windsor is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, but it might be worth chancing last year’s winner of this contest LAGONDA. Venetia Williams’ mare returned to form with a decent third at Hereford 48 days ago and could be poised to strike. Lilting Verse may chase the pair home.

WIN: LAGONDA DANGER: FORTUNE DANCER

The hat-trick seeking Camulus looked one to follow last season and the market may prove the best guide on his return from nearly a year on the sidelines. Regardless, WAL BUCK’S is unexposed over this distance and his staying-on second at Ayr last month suggests that he could be ready to regain the winning thread. Planned Paradise found himself too far back on his latest sixth at Windsor and is a feasible alternative, along with Jacks Parrot.

WIN: WAL BUCK’S

Although GIANTSGRAVE has proved expensive to follow given his two defeats over hurdles to date, he could be worth chancing on this drop in distance. The form of his penultimate third at Lingfield has worked out well and it is too soon to be writing the six-year-old off. Penalised winners They Want Me and Four Springs are obvious dangers, with the latter feared most on the back of a wind procedure.

WIN: GIANTSGRAVE DANGER: FOUR SPRINGS

BIG CADILLAC was set a stiff task in Grade 2 company over hurdles at Cheltenham in December Dan Skelton’s charge will be more at home in this grade back on his favoured testing ground and is taken to edge out Solid Performer. The latter ran well for a long way at Ayr and has plenty of scope for further progress, while Guet Apens, a winner on the Flat in France, is worth noting.

WIN: BIG CADILLAC DANGER: SOLID PERFORMER

VOODOO ANGEL is edging closer to opening her account over timber She failed to prevent the progressive Kazar Forez from landing a hat-trick when runner-up at Catterick last month, but Donald McCain’s mare has every chance of going one better in this company Gower Spirit was no match for the odds-on winner when second at Hereford, but is not out of this, while Bluella Bresil has the past form to get involved.

WIN: VOODOO ANGEL DANGER: GOWER SPIRIT

He’s Bresilian found only one too strong at Ayr when bidding to follow up on his earlier maiden triumph and would appear to hold excellent claims from 2lb higher, but it is SUPER FREDDIE that shades preference. The five-year-old was well found in the market ahead of his handicap bow in December but he weakened quickly having been headed two from home. However, the trip appeared to stretch him and, should this be more suitable, it would come as no surprise were he to step forward. Jasmin De Cotte is also noted.

WIN: SUPER FREDDIE

DANGER: HE’S BRESILIAN

13-year-old Good Boy Bobby signed off last season with a creditable third at Newbury and is weighted to go well on his hunters’ chase debut, but it looks best to side with TAKE ALL. Myles Osborne’s charge didn’t run too badly at Cheltenham in November before taking a step forward at Ludlow recently, and a similar level of performance might suffice. Major Dundee has been running with credit between the flags of late so is respected back under Rules.

FORTUNE DANCER wasn’t overly extended to stretch her unbeaten record over fences to 3 at Windsor last month and, with further improvement on the cards, Chris Gordon’s 8-y-o is a confident selection to go in again. Last year’s winner Lagonda returned to form at Hereford before Christmas, so she gets the nod for the forecast spot

Race Summary:

JACKS PARROT tends to give his running in these marathon handicaps and the 7-year-old looks a reliable option on the back of a good third in the Tommy Whittle. Planned Paradise isn’t the most straightforward but he’s on a really handy mark and the promise of his penultimate start at Ludlow shouldn’t be discounted, with Ithaka also considered if able to back up his recent Hereford win.

Having got off the mark in maiden company at Newcastle on his penultimate start, HE’S BRESILIAN produced his best effort yet when beaten only by one at Ayr who had eased in the weights He looks to hold sound claims of getting back to winning ways El Curamach was progressive when last seen and rates an intriguing runner on the back of a lengthy absence, whilst Super Freddie has better days ahead of him as he gains more experience.

EVACUATION PROCEDURE

18 Bangor Racecourse has enhanced Safety & Security measures to ensure your safety, comfort and enjoyment of the day. However, an incident may occur which is beyond our control and it is important that you are aware of how we intend to look after you in the event of an emergency.

We employ professionally trained and experienced stewards who are located predominantly around the course and are identifiable by their uniform.

In the event of a situation that requires partial or full evacuation of the stands or racecourse, announcements will be broadcast and stewards will undertake the responsibility of ushering you to a place of safety; it is essential that you follow their instructions. Please take your immediate belongings with you and proceed out of the area quickly and calmly with the guidance of the stewards.

The above is precautionary only and we trust that the procedures will never be required. However, in the event of an emergency, remember:

• Take your belongings with you;

• Under the directions of the stewards, proceed quickly and calmly to the safe area.
