BETTING EXPLAINED

Select your horse. Note their name and saddlecloth number

Choose your bet. ‘To win’ or ‘each-way’ are popular types of bet.

‘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.

How the experts rate the horse’s chances:

The Charlie Wilson Memorial Hurdle

Charlie Wilson who died on 31st August 2022 aged 87 was a passionate horseman, an Owner, Breeder and a member of The Jockey Club.

The Race we are sponsoring in his honour at Warwick today reflects his love of National Hunt breeding. Seeing the development of NH bred horses from Maiden Hurdles to hopefully becoming staying chasers of the future.

Charlie was a newspaper Editor, and has been described as Racing’s best friend in the newspaper industry. He championed the coverage of racing in the Times and many other papers. He served as a member of the Jockey Club Licensing and disciplinary committees.

He bred many horses from the Delgany Stud, all of whom carry the Delgany prefix. His best love was for gutsy horses that could stay long trips - we hope to see one or two here today.

MR FINCH left behind a lesser effort when fifth of 8 in an interesting-looking novice at Newbury last month and he can build on that to open his account. He gets the vote ahead of Scottish Anthem, who could still have more to offer in this sphere as he starts out for Stuart Edmunds, with Testing Patience also in the mix.
