BetBright’s Conor White missed out on a place in the top 10 in the Tipster Challenge after enduring a difficult race day at Pontefract.
The company’s Marketing Communications Manager collected just a single victory on the Brian Ellison-trained Echo Of Lightning, who edged out pre-race favourite Stanley.
It was a similar story for bettingexpert’s Stephen Harris, as he could only match White’s 100/30 success. Meanwhile, both of our tipsters came up just short on Spinart in the 3:10.
