How it works. All bets placed before 10am on the morning of the race that are matched at any time before the off will qualify for a 50% saving on customers prevailing commission rate.

Betfair will choose one British Horseracing card each day and 'Early-bird' savings will be paid through cashback to your account the following Friday.

The Early Bird Promotion has finished for now - watch out for the Betfair Starting Price coming very soon

The schedule for each upcoming week will be published on this page.

Remember, you only have to place your bets before 10am on the day of the race to enjoy the benefits of the 'Early-bird' price reductions. If the odds you want aren't

available, place an order at the odds you want but make sure you do it before 10am, then check your bets before the off to see if you get matched.
