For Conor White, Marketing Communications Manager at BetBright, it was a case of the wrong horses coming up trumps in the Tipster Challenge at Sedgefield.
Both White and the experts from Timeform collected 3.62 points from a trio of short price winners in Hint of Grey (13/8), Whitsundays (11/8) and Bordeaux Bill (8/13).
Meanwhile, bettingexpert horse racing guru Stephen Harris picked up 5.00 points from Onwiththeparty in the opening race, his only success of the seven-race meet.
This has been something of a trend in this year’s challenge, sponsored by Betting Gods, as bettingexpert sit 10 places higher than Timeform, and with a weekly average of 1.27 points greater, despite recording six race wins fewer over 23 weeks of action.
