It was a day for short price winners in the Tipster Challenge, sponsored by Betting Gods. The six races at Haydock produced winners at 1/14, Evens and 7/4.
Unfortunately for our experts, which this week included LeoVegas Sportsbook Manager Edward Rycroft, none of them had predicted victories for the day’s slightly longer odds successes – 3/1 Chti Balko, 7/2 Sammy B and 7/1 Purcell’s Bridge.
Rycroft’s 1.82 points from two race wins put him 19th in the table. Meanwhile, bettingexpert’s Stephen Harris and Timeform held their starting positions of 6th and 15th respectively.
Race Winners at Haydock:
- Chti Balko – 3/1
- The Nipper – 1/14
- Buttercup – 7/4
- Sammy B – 7/2
- Purcell’s Bridge – 7/1
- Johanos – Evens
