Tipster Challenge - AppBet

False dawn at Fontwell as experts fail to find the winners

For the second week running, our industry guest found the going tough, with Bookmaker RatingsBradley Gibbs managing just a single 1/5 winner at Fontwell.

Gibbs has taken over from 32Red’s Gerry Murray at the bottom of the Tipster Challenge leaderboard, which has been sponsored by Betting Gods for the 2016/17 jump season.

Stephen Harris, the horse racing guru at bettingexpert, and the experts from Timeform didn’t fare much better at the seven-race meet, with a total of 3.28 points between them.

At 15/8, Lakeshore Lady represented the day’s biggest win for Timeform, while Harris stayed in sixth place after Dingo Dollar (Evens) profited from Red Rising’s late withdrawal to win the opening race.
