EBA Weekend Horse Racing Preview 22/11/08
Some top class racing this Saturday which includes Kauto Star’s bid for a third successive Betfair Chase at Haydock, but all eyes will again be on the Scoop 6. It looks like it must be won this week but will it be one of the big syndicates or a single £2 punter?
Saturday’s action comes from Ascot, Gowran Park, Haydock, Huntingdon, Lingfield as well as an evening meeting from Wolverhampton.
There are 12 live races on terrestrial TV. The BBC are showing the 1.05, 1.40 and 2.15 from Haydock and the 1.20 and 1.55 from Ascot. Channel 4 are showing the 2.10, 3.20 and 3.50 from Lingfield, the 2.25 and 3.30 from Huntingdon, the 2.45 from Haydock and the 3.05 at Ascot.
If you back the winner of a live Channel 4 race at 4/1 or bigger, Bet365 will give you a free bet of up to £50 on the following Channel 4 race. This is a great offer for all you Saturday armchair punters.
The big race of the day is Haydock’s 2.15 the Betfair Chase. Paul Nicholls’ Kauto Star is a very short priced favourite to complete a hat trick of wins in this race. He won as he liked at Down Royal last time and only looks to have Exotic Dancer to beat. It’s a very poor turn out considering the prize money on offer.
For fans of the flat, there are a couple of good Listed races taking place at Lingfield with Peter Makin’s Harvest Queen looking an interesting contender in the 3.20.
Scoop 6 News
The Scoop 6 is going to reach new heights this week. The win fund currently stands at £2,037,527 and could easily double by race time. The bet costs just £2 and even if you can find 6 horses to place, you could be looking at a very nice payout indeed.
The Scoop 6 races are as follows;
2.10 Lingfield
2.40 Lingfield
2.45 Haydock
3.20 Lingfield
3.30 Huntingdon
3.50 Lingfield
You can normally get 10% cashback on your Scoop 6 bets with both Skybet and BlueSq. Both bookmakers also offer new clients a free bet. Totesport are offering 5% cashback.
Saturday’s Bookmaker Offers
Sportingbet
If your selection falls, unseats or is brought down at Haydock or Ascot this Saturday-
We’ll REFUND your stake!
Our faller promotion has become massively popular in the last few weeks with a host of punters getting their cash back after seeing their selection fall. Last weekend we refunded fallers on all three days of the Open meeting at Cheltenham much to the delight of our customers and the annoyance of our traders.
We’re not running scared this weekend though, instead we’ll double the risk by doing the same for Saturday’s meetings from Haydock and Ascot!
