SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Stephen Harris, the horse racing guru at bettingexpert, saw his lead cut in the Tipster Challenge, despite matching the 2.25-point return of this week’s guest at Nottingham.
BetVictor PR Manager Charlie McCann sits third in the early stages of the Flat Season competition, sponsored by Betting Gods, after a win for 9/4F Another Touch in the 3:50.
Unfortunately, neither of our experts managed ‘double points’ Nap of the Day success, after McCann’s Wahiba came in sixth and Harris’ Seduce Me narrowly missed out to race favourite Carducci.
Race Winners at Nottingham:
- Wings Of The Rock – 16/1
- Socialites Red – 4/1
- Carducci – 15/8
- Another Touch – 9/4
- Wilamina – 11/1
- Dominating – 2/1
- Miningrocks – 15/8
